Civil War
Seventh Regiment Infantry
From a report of General Thos. F. Meagher:
A few moments after 4 o'clock P. M. word was conveyed to me that a gallant body of volunteers had crossed the river m boats and taken possession of Fredericksburg. The State of Michigan fairly reserves to herself the largest measure of pride justified by this achievement. "
After the first battle of Fredericksburg the 7th returned to its former quarters on the north bank of the Rappahannoek. On the 25th of January, 1863, it was ordered into Falmouth, where it did duty as provost guard until May 3d, when, in command of Lieutenant Colonel A. E. Steele, it again crossed over to Fredericksburg.
