Michigan's
Second Regiment Infantry
The regiment, although not actually engaged at Bull Run, had the honor, together with the Third Michigan, of covering the retreat from that disastrous field.
The correspondent of the New York Tribune, in writing regarding the stampede from Bull Run, says:
I was told that a few regiments, beside the three faithful ones of Blenker's brigade had come in in fair order, and that they were the 2d and 3d Michigan, and the Massachu setts 1st, of Richardson's brigade. I should be glad if it were so.
The following is a report of Colonel Richardson on the subject, made to General McDowell, through his Assistant Adjutant General:
