Civil War Cavalry
We had marching orders at 2 o'clock next morning; most of the command left at daylight, but we with the rest of the cavalry had to remain till 9 o'clock, when we left Strasburg for Winchester with our wagons; the whole division train was six miles long and was heavy, on account of having to carry the extra baggage of Shields's division. Our regiment, or what we had of it (five companies), was ordered to the front near New-. town. The rebels came down by the road from Front Royal, which joins the pike at Mid-dletown; here our forces kept them back all day until nearly all our train had passed.
