Fourth Cavalry
Colonel Park advanced his regiment some two hundred yards beyond the rebel camp, and discovering the enemy drawn up in line of battle on the opposite side of an open field, and on the edge of a piece of woods which bordered on it, at once dismounted the 4th Michigan and advanced to the edge of the woods on the side of the field nearest him, and opened a brisk fire on the enemy posted opposite, which was sharply replied to. The enemy, however, broke and ran after a few moments' , firing, but with a loss of at least five killed and several wounded. Moving to the left towards the border of another large open field, and seeing nothing more of the enemy, Colonel Park returned to the rebel camp.
