Civil War Cavalry
With members of my staff, I made strong efforts to rally them. The men generally obeyed orders, but before anything valuable could be accomplished the whole regiment apparently was retiring over the hill in much confusion. I observed Col-onel Colgrove in their midst striving to restore order, and other officers exerting themselves in the same way. The men did not run, but were rapidly retiring in disordered ranks, as if broken by a superior attack. The report of Colonel Colgrove gives, I doubt not a true statement of this confusion.
