Civil War
TENTH REGIMENT INFANTRY
"The brigade commanded formerly by General Morgan, composed of Michigan, Illinois, and New York troops, covered itself with glory, but lost many superior officers and gallant privates. Among the regiments are the 10th and the 14th Michigan, 16th and 60th Illinois, and 17th New York, all of which are veteran regiments, who never gave an inch under the rain of grape, canister, and shrapnel from a. battery at close quarters in their front, a part of which they assisted in capturing when they stormed the works and bayoneted quite a number of General Pat Claiborne s division when they refused to surrender.
