Civil War
Third Regiment Infantry
These companies suffered severely, as they fought largely superior numbers.
for the particular of this fight, I especially refer to Colonel Poe's report. I have to
say that the regiments of this command fought a hard fight in a most difficult position and under great disadvantages. They fully sustained their former reputation as good fighters, and I am constrained to say did their part to secure a victory to our arms. I have to make honorable mention of Colonel Champlin of 3d Michigan (who was wounded in the fight). Colonel Stevens and Major Pierce, also of the 3d, did their duty nobly. I am pleased to add that Colonel Champlin's wound is not dangerous, though severe, This regiment's fire told fearfully on the enemy.
