Fourth Cavalry
The rebel pickets were met at Auburn, and driven to Prosperity Church, where the advance was checked, and where the enemy was found in force, showing a bold front in a piece of woods. Colonel Minty says in his report: " I directed Colonel Smith, 10th Ohio, to dislodge them. Four companies moved up,to the attack, but were driven back, and the entire regiment came back in a very undignified manner, without having had a single man hurt, and were forthwith dubbed the Bloody 10th. The 4th Michigan stood next in column, Company D, Captain Hathaway commanding, in advance.
