11th Cavalry

"Early on the morning of the 18th the battle was resumed with unabated fury and raged throughout the day, each side strenuously maintaining its line. Our side had been weakened one-half during the night, General Gillam, with his brigade, having been sent to flank the rebels on their left and get into their rear, and Colonel Buckley, with the 2d brigade, to make a similar movement on the enemy's right, which movements were successfully accomplished. Night again closed the contest, the line of battle of both sides remaining about the same as in the morning, but one of Breckenridge's scouts came In and reported to him that a large yankee force, which took one and a half hours to pass a given point (meaning General Gillam's brigade), had flanked him and were going for the salt works.
