Civil War
FOURTH REGIMENT INFANTRY
A secondary object of the expedition was to obtain information in regard to the roads and fords in the vicinity. Lieutenant N. Bowen of the Topographical Engineers went with the expedition; as also a squadron of the 2d regular cavalry, under command of Captain Gordon; a company of the 5th cavalry, Lieutenant Custer; a company of the 18th infantry, Captain Forsyth, and a company of the 2d infantry, Captain McMillan. New Bridge is four miles from camp. They went down the main road to what is called the old mill, and thence turned to the right through a piece of woods, keeping it till they came to an open field, commanding a view of the Chickahominy river.
