U. S. Civil War
NINTH REGIMENT INFANTRY
then came infantry, then artillery, then more cavalry, but by this time I had succeeded in organizing the fleeing cavalry and forming them in line on our flanks, and in placing several pieces of fleeing artillery in position.
"I had now a force of about two thousand cavalry and about three thousand infantry, And eleven pieces of artillery in position, and all organized from the stampeded and demoralized troops of our army. At this juncture the rebel cavalry following our routed army made a charge upon my advanced lines, which was handsomely repulsed by the cavalry I had organized from the troops which but a few minutes previous had given way in despair and were fleeing for dear life.
