" July 23d. Moved to Newby's Cross Roads, in advance, ten squadrons dismounting to fight; deployed as skirmishers and moved on the right. Two squadrons, mounted, remained in line in front. After some skirmishing obeyed orders to fall back."
Report of Colonel Gray, commanding 6th Cavalry:
"On the morning of June 30th this regiment, with the 5th, occupied Littletown, Perm.; while Company A was on a reconnaissance toward Westminster, the remainder of the regiment (nine companies) proceeded to Hanover. On approaching the last named place we came upon the enemy's skirmishers, whom we drove to their guns, which we unexpectedly found posted on our right, supported by a large force of cavalry.
