Battle report notes artillery saves Browns as Michigan clashes
The narrative describes limited follow up by hive artillery and cavalry after infantry gained advantage. The First brigade of Rlves engages the Michigan brigade forming the Brown center. The Twenty First battery arrives at a critical moment restoring Browns’ preponderance and forcing a temporary retreat of the West Blue Brigade. The First Michigan and First Indiana exchange heavy fire with no clear breakthrough. Umpires note losses for the First Michigan. The Brown army relies on mobile artillery, with Todiana brigade and Twentieth Infantry unit highlighted for best action. Blue artillery shows little effect.
