4th Cavalry
On arriving at Gordon's Mill my men were dismounted, and, with Colonel Wilder's brigade and a brigade from General Van Cleve's division, repulsed a heavy attack about 8 o'clock P. M. We lay in position all night within hearing of the enemy, and were without fires, although the night was bitterly cold. At break of day General Palmer's division relieved us. I then moved to the rear and procured forage for our our horses and rations for the men, who had been entirely without since the previous morning. "The casualties on this date in the 4th Michigan were 1 killed, 10 wounded and 3 prisoners. Among the wounded was Captain Pritchard and Captain Abeel Fritchard in the left arm by a shell.
