American Civil War
SIXTEENTH REGIMENT INFANTRY
Have you placed the regiments in position, General says Mead, hurriedly and anxiously. 'I have, says Griffin. ' Are they troops on whom you can depend?' questioned Mead. General, ' says Griffin, they are Michigan men. ' ' But, ' said Mead, ' will they hold their ground? ' Yes, General, ' said Griffin, emphatically, they'll hold it against hell; ' and they did. Behind that battle line the shattered remains of the 11th corps sought refuge and shelter, and at its threshold then bloodthirsty pursuers found a wall of fire, beyond which they did not pass. "
