Michigan in the Civil War
SEVENTEENTH REGIMENT INFANTRY
Two regiments were sent to Colonel Luce with instructions to hold it, which was accomplished, and we also saved our dead and wounded comrades of the 60th Ohio from falling into the hands of the enemy, and also relieved the 2d brigade from its perilous position, which was handsomely acknowledged by Colonel Christ, its commander. A delay of three minutes would probably have given the position and the day to the rebels. As it was, we gained and held it
. without the loss of a man.
