Michigan Civil War
TWELFTH REGIMENT INFANTRY
The General commanding availing himself of the appropriate occasion, made immediate report of the circumstances attending the gallant and successful defense of Middleburg, and gratefully commended Colonel W. H. Graves, and his heroic little band of the 12th Michigan to the notice of the General commanding the district and department.
It is gratifying to find their conduct appreciated in terms of fitting praise. Incidents like these referred to by the department commander serve to develop the sterling qualities of officers and soldiers more strikingly than great battles.
