Michigan Cavalry Brigade 2
Two pieces of cannon, two limbers filled with ammunition, and a large number of prisoners were among the results of this charge. While it is impossible to mention all the names of the officers of the 1st Michigan who distinguished themselves by their gallantry in this charge, I cannot forbear from: referring specially to the conduct of Major Howrigan, of this regiment, whose bravery on this occasion rendered him conspicuous. He was the first to reach the rebel battery, and In doing so received a wound in the arm. Lieutenant Colonel Stagg, who commanded the 1st Michigan in the charge, with the officers and met of his command, deserve great credit for the daring manner in which the rebel battery was taken.
