Michigan Cavalry Brigade 2
In this charge Major Brewer was severely wounded. After the enemy had been driven from this point I started with the 7th Michigan after the trains. We came upon the rear of them and recaptured two caissons, three ambulances, and several wagons. The enemy's force being so much greater than mine, I did not deem it advisable to follow. I then ordered this regiment back to its position on the line. At this time we had connected with the other brigades of the division. In this fight Majors Kidd and Deane, of the 6th Michigan, Were captured, but were shortly afterwards retaken by a portion of their own regiment, led by Captain Birge.
