4th Cavalry
On the left the underbrush was so dense that the men had great difficulty in forcing their way through it and dislodging the enemy. " The entire line advanced, charged gallantly across the open country, and carried the first line of breastworks, where we found telegraph wire stretched along the entire front about two feet from the ground. " The rebels now took shelter behind the second line, which was on the hill south of the station. Across the open ground between the two lines the 3d brigade and 7th Pennsylvania again charged and quickly dislodged the enemy, who fell back to their third line. The 7th Pennsylvania pushed forward through the woods on the right, and was Immediately heavily engaged, but drove the rebels steadily.
