Fourth Cavalry
After some little delay we again advanced, the 4th Michigan being next to and on the right of the road, with one company advanced as skirmishers, the 3d Kentucky on the right of the 4th Michigan, the 1st Tennessee on the right of the 3d Kentucky, and the 2d Tennessee in reserve. In this formation we moved through a cedar thicket with a dense undergrowth rendering it almost, impossible to force our -way' through. We had occasional heavy skirmishing with the enemy who continued to shell us as we advanced. About six miles out we met the enemy in force" a sharp skirmish ensued, the 4th Cavalry, 1st Tennessee Infantry and the 7th Pennsylvania Cavalry having to bear the brunt of the light on our side.
