Michigan Cavalry Brigade
A moment, and the shock of contending arms and shouts of contestants filled the air. A moment, and the rebel line wavered, then broke and fled the field in a confused rout, leaving in the hands of the 7th the commanding officer of their brigade and a large number of prisoners—the remainder fled for safety behind the fortifications of the infantry, three miles to the rear, closely followed by the 7th. For the part the regiment took in this action, it received the compliments of the commanding general."
The brigade performed a prominent part at the final surrender, being engaged with Ewell's corps at Sailor's creek, April 6th.
