Civil War Cavalry
From a correspondent:
"When we fell back from Harrisonburg to New Market, General Shields's large division was also ordered to join General McDowell. General Banks, with his column, consisting of two brigades of infantry, sixteen guns, and twenty-five hundred cavalry, retrograded to Strasburg, which he was to occupy and intrench, in a very hostile and extremely disloyal part of Virginia, almost every inhabitant a spy, and in communication with the rebel generals. General Banks was appraised of the movement to cut us off Friday night.
