4th Cavalry


The woods here were very dense, and on the northeast side of the road, running parallel to It, is a range of hills which was occupied by the rebel cavalry in considerable force. "At a little less than three miles from Dallas I had a good view of aline of breastworks facing west. I therefore ordered up Griffin's section of artillery with the 4th Michigan Cavalry to support it, and commenced shelling them. A heavy column of dust was moving on the Marietta road, which I supposed to be about one mile distant from me. Often shells were thrown in that direction, and also at several other points where there were indications of the enemy.
