Fourth Cavalry
General Hazen directed Captain Mix to gain possession (if possible) of a bridge about two miles in front of him, and prevent its destruction. He pushed forward, and was immediately confronted by a force of rebel cavalry. He charged, and in less than fifteen minutes after having received the order he had possession of the bridge, having driven an entire regiment of rebel cavalry over it. He was in turn attacked by the whole of Buford's brigade, but held his position for an hour and a half, when General Hazen came up with his infantry and Buford fell back.
