"This last minute-t decision by Col. Vincent, hurrying the 16th Michigan, the smallest regiment in the brigade, from the lowest, tree-covered southern part of the hill to the higher position . Amos Judson to the 83rd Pennsylvania, its eventual historian, later claimed Vincent ordered the Michigan men into line with the Pennsylvanians on the left and the 44th New York on the right."
"Col. James Rice, reportedly asked that his regiment fight side-by-side with the 83rd Pennsylvania; Vincent agreed, Judson wrote, so the 16th Michigan was placed on the far right of their line."
