Fourth Cavalry
After heavy skirmishing for over an hour, driving most of his force through the Gap and capturing some prisoners, returned to the command. On the morning of June 27th, the regiment with its brigade moved on the pike in the direction of Shelbyville, and after passing Guy's Gap the command rode at a furious rate, until arriving within a mile of the enemy's works, and four miles from Shelbyville, when the enemy opened with his artillery. Minty's Brigade being about seven miles in advance of the first division, Major Mix with the 4th Michigan was directed to move to the right and find a road that would lead inside the fortifications, then to move towards the pike and cut off his artillery.
