Michigan Cavalry Brigade 2
A detachment of 600 under Col. Dahlgreen kept well to the right in the direction of Louisa Court House, while General Kilpatrick with the main body moved upon Ashland, both parties scouring the country thoroughly, and doing all possible
damage.
As the forces neared Richmond the two main parties began concentrating. Colonel Dahlgreen was to move to the right of Richmond, and destroy as much of the James canal as possible, then taking the river road, was to cross if practicable and enter the city from the south side, and attempt the deliverance of the prisoners on Belle Isle.
