Ninth Regiment Cavalry
Colonel David had hurried with his command to this point at the rate of fifty miles a day, and after having aided in scattering Morgan's forces returned to Danville.
A detachment of the regiment in command of Captain Dewitt C. Smith, while on this pursuit, captured Lieutenant Colonel Alston, Morgan's Chief of Staff, and 51 prisoners.
The regiment having reached Danville, July 6th, Colonel W. T. Saunders, 5th Kentucky Cavalry, assumed command of the whole force then there, the 8th and 9th Michigan Cavalry being in the same brigade.
The 9th left that point on the 7th, arriving at Lawrenceburg same day.
