4th Cavalry
On the l7th of May the regiment marched in the direction of Kingston, and early next morning moved out in the advance of the division towards Woodland, whence it was sent on a reconnaissance. Meeting Ferguson's brigade of rebel cavalry about a mile out, drove him five miles, and to within half, a mile of Kingston. Coming suddenly on a heavy force of infantry, while the enemy's cavalry attacked in rear and on both flanks, being entirely surrounded, the regiment cut its way out, fighting desperately, and with a loss of 3 men killed, 3 officers and 16 men wounded, and 10 missing.
