Michigan Cavalry Brigade 2
At daylight on the morning of the 9th the corps started on the ' Richmond raid, this brigade being in advance. After a short halt at Childsbury, where the division was massed, we moved on the road leading to Beaver Dam Station, on the Virginia Central railroad. Just before reaching the North Anna river, the advance guard reported a train of the enemy's ambulances to be in sight. Major Brewer, of the 1st Michigan Cavalry, with one battalion of his regiment, was ordered to push forward and capture them; after which he was to move rapidly
on Beaver Dam Station, the remainder of the brigade to follow closely in support.
