Record of Service of Michigan Volunteers in the Civil War 1861-1865 (Senate and House of Representatives of the Michigan Legislature), p.20-21.
 
Colonel O. M. Poe, commanding the regiment, obtained from the War Department a set of regulation infantry colors, which he presented, with a stirring speech, to the regiment, and the original flag was returned to its donors. The remnant of this second flag, tattered and battle-scarred, is shown in the above cut, reproduced from an old photograph. It has been carried in thirty-four engagements, and, under its folds, eleven officers and one hundred and ninety-four men have been killed in action, or mortally wounded.
