Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Battle of Groveton; Or Second Bull Run: A Paper Read Before the Commandery of the State of Michigan, Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the United States Commander and Companions: I do not expect, in the short paper which I shall present to you to-night, to add anything to your stock of information regarding the general features of the Battle of Groveton, usually known as Second Bull Run or Manassas; but, as the conduct of brave men in extremity is wont to arouse the sympathy of other brave men who have been in like peril, perhaps some of the incidents which I shall relate will interest you. In the reports sent from battle fields in the early days of the war a great deal of exaggeration was contained; and if a regiment suffered greatly, it was usually accounted for by the author of the report beholding (in his imagination at least) a large array of batteries, masked batteries and Black Horse Cavalry. I must confess that some such exaggeration has crept into the history of the 1st Michigan Infantry at Groveton, and I hope to show that a brave regiment may suffer great loss in a twenty minutes charge, even though it does not have four or five batteries playing upon it all the time. At sundown, August 28th, 1862, the 1st Michigan Infantry, which then formed part of the 1st Brigade, 1st Division, 5th Corps of the Army of the Potomac, received orders to bivouac for the night at Bristow Station.
