Civil War
TENTH REGIMENT INFANTRY
But a few minutes had elapsed when the enemy were discovered coming in on the left, having broken through the lines of the 1st division and coming in in such masses to the rear that the Michigan lines were forced to shift position and occupy the reverse side of the works. Rapid firing was again opened on the enemy, but finding that ammunition was nearly exhausted and the situation becoming desperate and critical, the only hope of success was a charge with the bayonet, which was accomplished in the most gallant manner, and the enemy was completely routed and driven from the field, followed by almost the last round of cartridges of the 10th.
