Fourth Cavalry III
The 3d Ohio was my advance regiment. It easily drove what small force we met without delaying the column for a moment. About six miles from Selma I turned to the right, taking a cross road which led to the Summerville road. At about 3 P. M. I found myself in front of the works around Selma. In accordance with orders from Brigadier General Long I sent the 3d Ohio to the right and rear to cover led horses and pack mules. The other three regiments, 4th Ohio, 7th Pennsylvania, and 4th Michigan, were dismounted and formed a line about half a mile from the works. A strong skirmish line was pushed forward a few hundred yards in advance and was immediately engaged with the enemy's skirmishers.
