Michigan Cavalry Brigade 2
Pennington's battery opened upon them, while the 6th Michigan Cavalry, under Major Kidd, was thrown forward and deployed as skirmishers. One gun of Pennington's battery, supported by the 1st Vermont Cavalry, was placed on my extreme left. The 1st Michigan Cavalry, under Major Brewer, acted as a reserve, and as a support for the remaining five guns of the battery. The 7th Michigan Cavalry, under Colonel Mann, was engaged in the woods on my right. At first I was under the impression that the skirmishers were composed of dismounted cavalry, but later developments convinced me that it was a very superior force of infantry that now confronted me.
