Civil War
Third Regiment Infantry
A report being made of this fact to General Sickles, he at once advanced his line to an advantageous position to repel the attack. Soon the enemy made his anticipated assault, and after a spirited resistance for about two hours without receiving expected supports, Sickles fell back to his original position where a most desperate and formidable attack was made by the troops of General Long-street. The line being strengthened by the 5th Corps and other troops, the rebels were effectually repulsed, with great loss however, on both sides. The 3d Michigan was hotly engaged during this and the following day, losing forty-one killed, wounded, and missing.
