U. S. Civil War
NINTH REGIMENT INFANTRY
I am reliably informed that company B, 9th Michigan Volunteers, under command of First Lieutenant Wright, held the court house against an incessant attack by a greatly superior force from 4 A. M. till 7| P. M., and did not surrender till the enemy had possession of the lower story of the building, and had started a fire with the evident intention of burning them out.
Of the surrender of the 3d Minnesota volunteers and Hewitt's 1st Kentucky Artillery, under command of Colonel Lester, I cannot speak from personal knowledge, nor have I received any information from sources sufficiently reliable to warrant my communicating to you any details.
