Fourth Cavalry III
This was immediately assaulted and carried. Three field pieces were captured in this work. Here we again turned to the left and attacked and carried the works on the "Plantersville road, capturing five pieces of artillery, one of them a thirty-pounder Parrott. At this point I collected and re-formed my command, and about 11 P. M. bivouacked between the lines of works. As before stated, the total number engaged in the assault was thirty-three officers and six hundred and seventy-one men. Of these nine officers and one hundred and fourteen men were killed and wounded. Lieutenant Colonel Dobb, commanding 4th Ohio, was, I regret to say, killed, and Colonel McCormick, commanding 7th Pennsylvania, severely wounded.
