Michigan in the Civil War
SEVENTEENTH REGIMENT INFANTRY
Our regiment, after having been shown a position, formed in line of battle on the left by file into line, wheeling to the left on the double-quick, bringing the regiment on the enemy's flank, when we opened fire and drove them from the field. For gallant action, the commanders of the 1st and 2d brigades, commanded by Colonels Christ and Humphrey, respectively, and General Willcox, commanding the division, gave the 17th the highest praise, and as a compliment to the regiment gave it the position to hold, that being the key to that part of our line.
