U. S. Civil War
NINTH REGIMENT INFANTRY
I feel, and have no hesitancy in saying, that had not the 9th Michigan Infantry by their determined 'courage checked the stampede of the right wing of General Rosecrans's army on the morning of the 31st of December, the demoralization would have extended to the whole Army, the battle of Stone river would have resulted in the defeat of the Federal arms, and General Rosecrans would have been compelled to fall back upon Nashville. "
At the battle of Chickamauga on September 19th and 20th, 1863, the regiment was engaged on provost duty, rendering most valuable service. It was also present at the battle of Mission Ridge on November 25th following.
