Civil War Cavalry
At Woodstock, twelve miles from Strasburg, Company M, of the 1st Michigan Cavalry, accompanied by Colonel Brodhead and Lieutenant Colonel Copeland, charged first
through the town. The enemy were posted on a high hill on the opposite side, and let fly their artillery, but they were a second too late, their pieces being ranged to sweep our column as it came over the brow of the hill. The charge, however, was so impetuous that they were over—and that was all when the discharge came. The escape was very narrow. The company under Captain Dennison remained in the streets till our artillery shelled out the enemy and the flight and pursuit continued.
