Michigan Cavalry Brigade 2
We also captured a considerable number of prisoners, who informed us that we had been engaged with Fitz Hugh Lee's division of cavalry. Orders having been received not to pursue the enemy beyond this point, we remained on the field until near night, establishing communication in the mean while with the left of the 2d corps. Just before dark I received orders to withdraw my command and encamp near the Furnace. On the morning of the 7th we reoccupied the ground we held the day before. Upon arriving at the intersection of the Furnace road and the Brock pike, the 1st Michigan was thrown forward to hold the road leading to Todd's Tavern.
