Michigan Cavalry Brigade 2
The troops reached the outer fortifications early on Tuesday morning, all as the spires and houses of the city came in view, cheer upon cheer went up from our men. Riding rapidly toward the city, the outer line of works was reached and entered. The rebels therein threw down their arms, many of them Surrendering and others taking to their heels.
A fight then ensued for the next line, but the batteries were too much for them, and so with his battery Kilpatrick opened upon them and the city.
