11th Cavalry


The balance of the command proceeded by the way of Hazel Green to Mount Sterling where they arrived at 2 o'clock P. M., January 1st, 1865. Remaining all night, started the next day at noon towards Lexington, at which place they arrived on the 3d, weary and worn out, having passed through one of the longest and most fatiguing raids of th,e war. " In conclusion allow me to say a word or two in relation to Colonel Brown of the llth Michigan cavalry. Since we have been in the field Colonel Brown has been called upon to command brigades on all the raids in which his regiment has taken part, which he has done with honor and credit. Upon the raid just ended he showed the 'true metal" and handled his brigade so skillfully that General Burbridge sent his name to the War Department with the recommend that he be appointed a brigadier general for brave conduct and skillfull management.
