Michigan in the Civil War
SEVENTEENTH REGIMENT INFANTRY
The cannoneers with their horses and limbers came rush-ing down the road through our dense ranks, causing a temporary panic among some of the troops that might have resulted in the loss of the guns had the enemy taken the advantage of it. We promptly changed front here under a heavy fire of shot and shell, but as we had never had a battalion drill we formed our line of battle by countermarcn-ing, and moved out with the 79th New York veterans to protect the battery.
