Michigan's
Second Regiment Infantry
"In pursuance of orders from brigade headquarters the 2d Regiment Michigan Volunteer Infantry under command of Major Dillman took up its line of march from Camp Lincoln early in the morning of June 29th, marching to the rear of the camp, down the saw mill road until we reached an open field that had been occupied by General Couch's division as a camping ground.
'' Here the regiment was halted. Two companies, E and H, were thrown forward to a light breastwork at the edge of the woods, and covering the road down which we had marched from our camp. Three companies were sent back to the saw mill to act as vedettes on the roads leading from our old camp to the position we then occupied, also to throw out scouts to watch the movements of the enemy.
