Civil War Cavalry
We saddled and prepared for them in five minutes, but they fell back again. General Banks soon appeared on the field with his whole force, some seven regiments of infantry and sixteen guns, supported by our five companies of 1st Michigan Cavalry, the rest of the cavalry being on the other side of the town, two thousand strong, and very odd it seems to all of us why they were not on the field. If you hear of any other cavalry being on the field at this battle don't believe it. Our cavalry was the only cavalry there.
