Ninth Regiment Cavalry
After the fight, Colonel David's force was united with that of Lieutenant Colonel Acker, when the regiment commenced a movement back to Covington, and on the 31st of July arrived at that point.
A correspondent writing from Danville says:
"Here the 8th and 9th Michigan Cavalry and 11th Michigan Battery were brigaded under command of Colonel W. H. Saunders, and on the night of the 5th of July commenced our stem chase after Morgan. Kentucky was soon run behind us, Indiana was four hours under our feet, and then we steamed up the river to Cincinnati. Morgan's main column was now fifteen miles in our advance, and supposed to be moving towards Buffington Island.
