Civil War
Third Regiment Infantry
I began to fortify my position by throwing up an earthen parapet for three guns, with embrasures, across the road, and commenced an abatis of timber, by felling trees, pointing outwards, between this battery and the log house to the left.
About this time the enemy on the opposite side appeared to be falling back in confusion from our right attack, which continued for some time, and then the tide changed, and they seemed to be returning in large masses. At the interval between these two extremes, I was ordered by Colonel D. S. Miles to throw forward my skirmishers and feel the enemy, and accordingly two companies of the 3d Michigan Regiment were sent forward and down the ravine to cover our front and advance.
