Civil War Cavalry
' On the morning of the 1st April, 1862, we marched from Strasburg, one section of artillery, a squadron of the 1st Michigan Cavalry, and a battalion of infantry having the advance. The advance cavalry was under command of Lieutenant Colonel Copeland, and Colonel Brodhead, chief of cavalry of the 5th corps, accompanied it. A few miles from Strasburg Ashby's cavalry and artillery made their appearance, and the usual running skirmish was kept up till we reached this place (Edinburg, some eighteen miles) with but small loss on our side; that of the enemy we could not tell.
