Michigan Civil War
TWELFTH REGIMENT INFANTRY
"Every officer and man fought with a will, and with their gallant colonel preferred to die rather than surrender. The detachment consisted of portions of companies D, E, G, and K. The headquarters of the regiment was at Middleburg, the balance of the regiment was then at Bolivar and at the ' Trestle, ' on the railroad towards Grand Junction. "
Colonel Graves, commanding, says in a report:
" The advance of General Van Dorn's command soon made its appearance, and a flag of truce was sent in by a lieutenant colonel of staff which I met.
