Michigan Cavalry Brigade 2
"Wednesday morning, at about 9 o'clock, a large force of the enemy's cavalry came upon the rear of the command. General Kilpatrick was not unprepared for this and decided to give them battle. The 1st Vermont, under Colonel Preston, ably assisted by Captains Grant and Cummings and the 1st Maine, bore the brunt of this fight, which lasted something over an hour, while the 6th Michigan and other regiments of General Davis's brigade were in position to render whatever assistance might bo necessary.
" Thursday morning Kilpatrick moved toward New Kent Court House, and on the way met Colonel Speer in command of a cavalry force looking after Kilpatrick'a command."
