Michigan Civil War
TWELFTH REGIMENT INFANTRY
About 3 o'clock in the morning the advance of the enemy came up with this body of men, who fought them till daylight, gradually falling back till they came up with the 12th and 25th regiments, which had advanced about fifty rods in front of their color line. There the regiments met the enemy and fought till overpowered, when we fell, back to our color line and re-formed, when the same thing was repeated, and we fell back to a third position, which was retained until Prentiss's division was surrounded and a large portion of it captured.
