Michigan Cavalry Brigade 2
The enemy were encountered in heavy force about three-fourths of a mile beyond the cross-roads. A portion of the 1st Michigan was dismounted, and advanced through the woods on both sides of the road, while the remainder of the. regiment, under Captain Brevoort, moved up the road, mounted. After a short but severe engagement the enemy was driven back towards Todd's Tavern, which point was soon after occupied by our forces under General Gregg, whose right flank connected with my left. But little fighting occurred on my front during the remainder of that day On the 8th we moved from Todd's Tavern to Silver, a point on the Fredericksburg plank road, where the entire corps was massed.
