Last night I read Civil War Experiences of a German Emigrant Company D, 12th Michigan Regiment by Joseph Ruff. Ruff in this book tells of his service with the 12th Michigan Infantry and includes the 1862 Battle of Middleburg, Tennessee. The book claims that 115 members of the 12th Michigan Infantry fought 4,000 Confederates. I had only read a few mentions of this engagement so I thought I would look it up on line. There was not much about it on line.

I understand this was not a major battle. However, there appears to be a plaque to commemorate the battle.
