4th Cavalry
They at the same time moved strong columns on both my flanks. Immediately in my rear the Dallas road came in on the road on which I advanced. I therefore fell back to a position north of the junction of the road. Here Lieutenant Colonel Park, commanding the 4th Michigan Cavalry, reported that a column of infantry - was moving around my left, and at the same time Smith's brigade of cavalry was discovered on my right. I fell back to Farmer's Bridge, where I reported to General Garrard. The rebels followed me up closely. Four times they charged the battalion of the 4th Michigan, which formed the rear guard. They were received dismounted and handsomely repulsed. During the entire day's skirmish the 4th Michigan was the only regiment engaged."
