Civil War Cavalry
On the extreme right five companies of Michigan Cavalry (attached to the 1st division) were held in reserve, under cover of the hill. This body of horse was successively under command of Majors Town and Paldi, both Colonel Brodhead and Lieutenant Colonel Copeland being prevented from assuming command by severe illness, from which they had for some time been suffering.
"On the left, Donnelly's brigade rested its right upon a considerable elevation which commanded the road toward Front Royal, and extended its left in a crescent form, so as to observe and cover the approaches in the southeast direction.
