Michigan Cavalry Brigade 2
Failing to dislodge me by attacking my front, he moved a heavy force of dismounted men through the woods on my right, intending to turn my right flank and gain possession of the Furnace road in my rear. Discovering this movement I sent the 6th Michigan Cavalry, Colonel Alger commanding, and the 6th Michigan Cavalry, Major Kidd commanding, to check the advance of the enemy, and if possible drive him into the open country beyond. About this time Colonel Devin reported to me with the 2d brigade. A section of artillery, sent to me by General Gregg, also arrived. Eight guns were placed in a favorable position for silencing the guns of the enemy. I directed Colonel Devin to support the battery placed in position with one of his regiments.
