11th Cavalry


The brigade commanded and led by Colonel Brown, and to which the llth Cavalry, then in command of Lieutenant Colonel Mason, was attached, carried the main work in most brilliant style, and were the only troops that effected a lodgment within the defenses- The fact that the llth Cavalry alone lost eighty-six in killed, wounded, and missing, more men than were lost by any other brigade of the command, proved conclusively that the success of the troops under Brown was not the result of lack of courage or of determined and desperate fighting on the part of their opponents, but was a result of their own gallant and persistent fighting.
