American Civil War
SIXTEENTH REGIMENT INFANTRY
To this redoubt and the earthworks in the distance was not over 600 yards, and a line of battle was formed.
"It was determined to charge this redoubt and the works. The charge was made solely by General Griffin's division. General Ayres's division was on the right of General Griffin's and Colonel Hoffman's brigade on the right of the former division; but the latter troops did not charge. The 18th Massachusetts battalion, Captain Bert commanding, was first sent forward as skirmishers, but found too weak, and was subsequently strengthened by the 155th Pennsylvania, Colonel Rinson, and the 1st Michigan, Major Hopper commanding.
