Civil War
TENTH REGIMENT INFANTRY
During the night it was attacked, but succeeded in repulsing the enemy and holding its position until relieved, by the 20th corps at noon on the 19th, when it was ordered and moved rapidly forward in the direction of Bentonville, accomplishing a distance of five miles in less than an hour, when works of defense in two lines were hastily thrown up of dead timber. The first line was occupied by Lieutenant Colonel Grummond, commanding the 14th Michigan and 17th New York, the second line by the 10th Michigan, 16th and 60th Illinois under Colonel Lum, the 60th thrown out as pickets and skirmishers.
