Michigan Cavalry Brigade
It Is a curious coincidence that the rebel General Ramseur, -who was killed, , classmate of General Custer at West Point. Before his death, Ramseur sent for the lat-ter and the tiro, thus strangely brought together, reviewed in the presence of death the reminiscences of their cadet life."
On the 27th of February, 1865, the brigade formed part of the force with which General Sheridan made his movement against General Early's army, and on the rebel communications in the direction of Gordonsville and Rich-mond, and at that date moved with the cavalry corps towards Staunton, and on the 8th of March participated in an engagement with a part of the rebel cavalry, under General Rosser, near Louisa Court House, and assisted in routing it and capturing the town, in which a large amount of property was destroyed, including the railroad depot, with rolling stock and telegraph office.
