Civil War Cavalry
On arriving at Edinburg a scene took place. The heavy smoke in advance indicated that the enemy were destroying the bridges, and Colonel Brodhead with the same company, again charged through the town to the edge of the burning bridge. The smoke concealed a regiment of the enemy's infantry which was on the other side, and a heavy fire of infantry as well as artillery opened on them, but it was too high, and resulted in but little damage. As soon as our artillery got into position they were driven back, and it being near dark and not possible to cross the creek, the force moved back, with the exception of the cavalry and bivouacked between Edinburg and Woodstock.
