Michigan Cavalry Brigade
Watching the enemy until the force had arisen from behind their works and commenced their retrograde movement, I gave the command to charge. the order was obeyed with zeal and alacrity upon the part of all. the 1st, 5th, 6th, and 7th Michigan, with a portion of the 25th New York, advanced in one line, most of the command using the sabre alone. Officers and men seemed to vie with each other as to who should lead. Among those in advance, my personal attention was attracted to Colonel Stagg, commanding 1st Michigan; Lieutenant Colonel Brewer, commanding 7th Michigan; also Captain Warner, of the same regiment; to Colonel Kidd, commanding the 6th Michigan Cavalry; and to Colonel Hastings, commanding 5th Michigan Cavalry. Each of these officers led his regiment with most commendable valor.
