4th Cavalry
I kept up the fire until the position occupied by the 7th Pennsylvania and 72d Indiana was attacked and flanked. Fire opened on myself from the hill and woods on our right, when, not wishing to endanger the artillery too much, I rejoined the other regiments. Shortly after I did so the enemy's artillery opened on me from the hill, and the second shell thrown killed two of the artillery horses. I sent them back out of range and held the position with the dismounted men supported on the flank by cavalry, until dark, when I established a strong picket line and fell back to camp.
