4th Cavalry
On my arrival at the bridge, I sent scouts to examine the creek to the right and left. Bad fords were reported both above and below the bridge. I crossed two companies of the 4th Michigan below and sis companies of that regiment above, together with the 4th U. S. Cavalry. I then crossed the bridge with one battalion 4th Michigan Cavalry, followed by the 7th Pennsylvania Cavalry and the one gun of the Chicago Board of Trade Battery. Captain Lockey, 12th Alabama Cavalry, was mortally wounded, and nine men killed. We took six prisoners. " I pushed forward rapidly to within three miles of Rome, where the enemy in considerable force, and holding a strong position, made a stand, showing four pieces of artillery.
