General Kilpatrick, in his report, referring to the engagement at Falling Waters, July 14th, 1863, says:
The enemy was, when first seen, in two lines of battle, with arms stacked, within less than one thousand yards of the large force. A portion of the 6th Michigan Cavalry, seeing only that part of the enemy behind the earth-works, charged. This charge was led by Major Weber, and was the most gallant ever made. At a trot they passed up the hill, received the fire from the whole line, and the next moment rode through and over the earth-works, sabering the rebels along the entire line, and returned with a loss of 30 killed, wounded and missing, including the gallant Major Weber, killed."
