Civil War
Twenty Fourth Regiment Infantry
I cannot longer delay tendering to you and to the brave men under your command my heartfelt thanks for the gallant bearing of yourself and the regiment in the battle of the 1st instant. No troops ever fought with more bravery than did those of the 24th Michigan on that occasion. The "Old Iron Brigade " being among the first in the field it had to meet the first shock of a desperate attack of a far superior force, and nobly did it do its duty.
