Michigan Cavalry Brigade 2
When the colored man pointed out the cross roads there was a universal shout In camp.
" The command started for Louisa Court House, and upon arriving there found, with joy and surprise, a division of Butler's colored troops. The boys were then all glad to shout again for the ' d-----.' "
After a few hours' rest Kilpatrick continued his retreat for Yorktown, covered by the colored troops.
