Fourth Cavalry
Colonel Griffith was in favor of falling back on the infantry pickets, but before giving his orders to that effect, called his officers together for consultation; they all favored retreat except Rexford, who counseled a sabre charge. Galbraith asked if he would make the charge, and that he (Galbraith) would support him with his regiment. Rexford answered, ' Of course I will,' and without waiting for further discussion galloped over to his men, and leading them, dashed right at the enemy and drove them in perfect confusion five miles.
