Colonel Coburn, rather that disobey the order of his superior officer, advanced to meet an enemy said to be ten times greater than the force which he had under his command, which consisted of the 23d and 85th Indiana, 19th Michigan, and 22d Wisconsin Infantry regiments, and the 124th Ohio Infantry in reserve; also the 18th Ohio battery, 9th Pennsylvania, 2d Michigan, and a part of the 4th Tennessee Cavalry Regiments.
