Michigan's
Second Regiment Infantry
June 30th. —This morning the companies of the regiment reunited, and the regiment joined the brigade, and all were marched to a position some distance to the front of where we had encamped for the night. Soon after we changed our position to the left and rear, on to the expected battle-field, and at once formed in column of division, to the right of the open field; soon we were ordered to a position further to the right. From here we marched to the front, and were placed in position to support the 20th Indiana regiment, who were holding a slightly constructed rifle pit, formed by hurriedly throwing together loose rails. We joined the 20th Indiana in the pit about 3 P. M., and with them held it under a galling fire from our front and left flank until the battle ended.
