Civil War
Third Regiment Infantry
I placed the 37th New York Volunteers, Lieutenant Colonel Raidon commanding (Colonel Hay man having been previously detailed as division officer of the day), in the woods along the two sides (west and north). At one o'clock I received an order to place my entire command behind or in rear of the entrenchments. I had scarcely got my men into their several positions when I received an order to have one regiment placed in the woods on the left of the Williamsburg road on our front.
"The 2d Regiment Michigan Volunteers, Colonel Poe, was on picket duty. I ordered him to concentrate his regiment on its right flank and hold it in readiness to move to the front.
