B
2nd Michigan Volunteer Infantry
Reports
Knoxville Tenn."November 24th –Skirmishing commenced early and briskly on our left front this morning. The rebels had gained a hill and thrown up rifle pits near the roundhouse during the night. The Forty-eighth Pennsylvania and Twenty-first Massachusetts, during the morning, charge the pits and, driving the rebels out at the point of the bayonet, covered the trenches and returned to their own, with a loss of two killed and four wounded. On our left, for some hours, the fire of the Sharp-Shooters was quite hot from the house above the rebel trenches. The Second Michigan charged there, also, in the most gallant manner, and drove the rebels back. A fierce and bloody engagement ensued, with great loss on both sides, our boys remaining in possession of the works, which they obliterated, and fell back." |
