4th Cavalry
Major Jennings, commanding 7th Pennsylvania, and Major Mix, commanding 4th Michigan, attacked the enemy with vigor, drove them from the ground and re-united the column. At this point I lost three ambulances which were driven into the woods and broken by the drivers. I was here ordered to take the advance with .my two brigades and push the enemy, Ross' brigade of cavalry at Flint river. The woods were thick and impracticable for cavalry. The 2d brigade was therefore dismounted; they advanced steadily, driving the rebels before them, until they arrived at Flint river, where we found the bridge destroyed and the enemy in position on the opposite side.
