Civil War
Third Regiment Infantry
On my order, Colonel Poe sent forward two companies under the command of Major Dillman, who took position on the flank of the 37th New York and did excellent service. The 3d Michigan moved into the woods on the left, about one mile in advance of this camp, and by gallant fighting drove the enemy for more than a mile along the left of the woods into and through the slashings. At this time the 5th Michigan came into the field and was conducted forward by myself; with it I relieved the 3d, and placed the 3d in reserve to the 5th. About an hour later a portion of other regiments came up and formed on the left of the 3d and 5th Michigan.
