Michigan Regiments
Twenty-Sixth Regiment Infantry
An advance was made by the corps, during which General Miles's brigade, in which was the 26th, flanked the whole position under a brisk fire, driving the enemy in much confusion, capturing four guns and taking some prisoners, the 26th constituting a part of the skirmish line which led the assault. On the 28th the regiment made a reconnaissance between New Market and Charles City road to discover the enemy's left, when it attacked and drove in splendid style double its, own strength for half a mile, and then pushed them into their earthworks in much confusion.
