Michigan Civil War
TWELFTH REGIMENT INFANTRY
The camp was speedily put in fighting order. Water, ammu, nition, and such things as would be needed were hurried into our rude fortifications. The quartermaster sent his teams and such stores as could be thrown on the wagons out of the way. In a very short time the enemy had made his dispositions, and approaching with a flag of truce boldly demanded the unconditional surrender of the post. Colonel Graves did not propose to surrender without a fight; he was put there to defend the place, not to surrender it.
