Michigan's
Second Regiment Infantry
The companies of the -2d regiment, A, B, D, and G, were ordered to hold the enemy in check until the recrossing of the ford was accomplished by the rest of the troops, when they were to fall back and bring up in the rear of the division, which order was fully executed.
" The other six companies took the road to the left, followed it as far as the saw mill in front of Crittenden's Ford, when finding they were on the wrong road, they retraced their steps, took the road toward Jordan's Ford and reached it just as the division was recrossing. They at once joined the column and marched with it across and some two miles beyond Bracket's Ford and encamped for the night.
