4th Cavalry
Next morning the detachment was again ordered on a reconnaissance on the Dalton road, and when five miles out encountered the enemy's pickets, driving them for some distance, but hearing firing in the rear fell back, and in doing so met the fire of the enemy. Learning that he was in considerable force, and fearing being cut off, took a circuitous route, evading the enemy, and reached Stone Church at sundown. On the 27th the same detachment was ordered out on the Tunnel Hill road to picket that road until the division passed, and when about half a mile out was attacked by the cavalry skirmishers of the enemy but they were checked in their advance.
