4th Cavalry
Colonel Sipes with a portion of his regiment had gone to the support of them. I moved to the front with the remainder of the 7th Pennsylvania, the 4th Michigan, and 72d Indiana, and found Colonel Sipes with his small force fighting the whole of Ferguson's brigade. I sent the remainder of his regiment to support him on the direct road. Lieutenant Colonel Park with the 4th Michigan moved across open ground to our left, and at the gallop drove them from their old position at the gin house. I dismounted the 72d Indiana, they followed the 4th Michigan Beyond the gin house to the Dallas and Villa Rica road, where I had breastworks of rails, logs, etc., thrown up.
