4th Cavalry
Being anxious to know what was in front of me, I pushed forward towards Bed House Bridge, and found Scott's brigade of cavalry and mounted infantry, about 1,500 strong, moving into position on our side of the creek. I immediately attacked them, and after a spirited skirmish of about an hour's duration drove them across the creek with considerable loss. "In this day's fighting the 4th Michigan lost two men and two horses wounded. " September 21st. During the night General Thomas fell back to the heights of Missionary Ridge at Rossville, and this morning I found myself about two miles directly in front of his line of battle.
