Civil War
Third Regiment Infantry
not only showed the highest discipline and Skill in the attack
of the 18th of July at Blackburn's Ford, but also exhibited a coolness and order in covering the retreat to Washington of the 21st of July, which has rendered both these regiments an honor to the country.
The Michigan Fifth, also, although having been a shorter time in service than the other regiments of the brigade have rendered effective service at different times, especially in the affair of a detachment under Captain Quackenbush of that regiment in an encounter near "Pohick Church, " in which he met and drove back a superior force, and its drill and discipline have shown that when further opportunities shall offer they will not tail in rendering themselves a credit to the brigade.
