Civil War
Seventh Regiment Infantry
During this movement it captured 480 men, 20 officers, and a stand of colors from the 26th North Carolina rebel infantry. The army having withdrawn, and leaving the regiment unsupported, through a misunderstanding, on the field, it was, on the 28th, obliged to fight its way back to the army, in which it succeeded, though greatly harrassed by the enemy's cavalry.
A special correspondent Detroit Free Press wrote:
"One more battle to chronicle for the old 7th. Leaving its position on the extreme right at Deep Bottom, on the evening of the 20th, it marched with the corps to the left of the army, near the Weldon railroad, arriving at a point known as the Yellow House at 4 P. M. of the 21st.
