11th Cavalry


Had the rebels ever calculated that we were able to sustain our selfs after passing the Gap, I very doubt whether we should have been allowed to pass it with so little resistance as it only 5 miles from the salt works Sunday the road was skirmished from camp to the works of the enemy. Efforts were made by them to hinder our advance by throwing shell from the forts but in spite of them we advanced to within a mile of the village dismounted and prepared to carry the works a la infantry. The attack was made at three points. The third brigade Colonel Charles Hanson, 37th Kentucky, commanding took the right, the 1st brigade, General Hobson of the 4th brigade, the center; and Colonel R. W. Rateliffe, 12th Ohio, the left.
