Civil War Cavalry
Colonel Brodhead, 1st Michigan Cavalry, now took the advance, and soon reported the road clear to Winchester. Before all our army had passed, the rebels advanced on the Front Royal road in such force as to occupy Middletown, compelling our rear guard to fall back to Strasburg, making a circuit thence to the north, whereby the 1st Vermont, Colonel Tompkins, was enabled to rejoin Banks at Winchester in season for the fight of next morning, while the 5th New York, Colonel DeForrest, made its way through the mountains to the Potomac, bringing in a train of 32 wagons and many stragglers.
