The Second Regiment Minnesota Veteran Volunteer Infantry.
Occupied this position Sunday September 20th, 1863, from 2:30 P.M., to 7:30 P.M., successfully maintaining it against repeated assaults by the enemy, and withdrawing only after the attempt to take it had been abandoned.

This Regiment was engaged September 19th, on the Reed's Bridge, Road, and in the forenoon of September 20th, at Kelly's Field, in every contest, repulsing the enemy opposing it. Having 384 men engaged, its loss was 34 killed, 114 wounded, and 14 men (detailed for care of wounded) were captured; total loss 42 per cent.
"It is a notable fact that the 2nd. Minnesota had not a single man among the 'missing' or a straggler during the two days engagement."
Official report of Col. Ferd'd Van Derveer, Commanding Brigade.
