"June 30th. We marched to Littletown, Pa., where the Michigan Cavalry Brigade, being 2d brigade, 3d cavalry division, Army of the Potomac, consisting of the 1st, 5th, 6th, and 7th Michigan Cavalry, and Captain Pennington's battery of the U. S. Regulars Artillery, was formed and placed under the command of Brigadier General G. A. Custer. From Littletown we marched to Honover, Pa., where my regiment had its first serious encounter with the enemy. General Stuart's cavalry being near that place, I was left with my regiment to intercept him, should he move upon the road I was left to guard. Towards evening the enemy attacked me in quite a large force.
