Civil War Cavalry
"When on this side of Newtown the rebels got a position and commenced shelling our train. At the same time a large body of rebel cavalry rushed down on the train, killed and drove off the horses, and took some of our sick men and drivers prisoners; they then , disabled about a mile of our train, including all of our baggage wagons, and today I have nothing left but a seedy suit, overcoat, horse, etc. With some sacrifice of life, we drove back three times our number and burned these wagons in the face of the enemy. With the exception of some broken wagons left and burned, that was all we lost of the train.
