Michigan in the Civil War
SEVENTEENTH REGIMENT INFANTRY
On the 12th the whole division advanced about half a mile, driving the enemy back to their main works. At 2 P. M. our division was ordered to charge the enemy's batteries, and the division advanced under a tremendous shelling from the enemy. After advancing into the woods about eighty rods it came unexpectedly upon the enemy's line, which was about to charge upon our batteries. The lines of the enemy extended in a circle around the left of our regiment, and closed on our rear, opening a heavy fire both in front and rear, at one time having the entire regiment prisoners.
