4th Cavalry
Here the enemy appeared in considerable force, having open fields in his front, and the flankers reported cavalry moving on both flanks. I sent the 4th U. S. Cavalry to the left and a battalion of the 7th Pennsylvania to the right, and skirmishing commenced at once. " The general brought up the 3d brigade, when I moved the 4th Michigan to the left of the regulars, and sent the other two battalions of the 7th to the right, and ordered both flanks to push forward. This was done in good style (dismounted), especially on the right, where the country was sufficiently open to admit of regular formation being kept up.
