Fourth Cavalry
The 4th Michigan was also engaged skirmishing with the enemy on the 1st, 2d, 3d, and 4th of January following, with a loss of 2 killed and 13 prisoners. Colonel Minty further says: "On January 5th, 1868, I marched through Murfreesboro and took the Manchester pike. One mile out I met the enemy's pickets and reported the fact to General Stanley, who ordered an advance and took the lead with the 4th Cavalry. After crossing a small creek about two miles from Murfreesboro, the bridge over which had been destroyed the rebels commenced shelling us. "I sent the 3d Kentucky well to the right and front, and the 7th Pennsylvania to the left, keeping the 4th Michigan, 1st and 2d Tennessee in reserve.
