Ninth Regiment Cavalry
Colonel Acker's command then joined the forces of General Hopson, at Montgomery, about 12 miles from Cincinnati, and the pursuit commenced after Morgan, marching day and night, coming upon the enemy's column at daylight on the 19th, at Buffington's Island. General Hopson's force attacked him in rear, while that under General Judah attacked him in front. The engagement was brisk, but short, and the rout of the enemy was complete, over 2,000 prisoners being taken by the Union forces, with some artillery and a large amount of small arms and equipments, with numerous horses and other property.
The 9th was hotly engaged.
