Second Regiment Cavalry
The fight now became deeply interesting. On came the enemy, pouring heavy volleys into the ranks of the 2d Michigan and other cavalry, and pushing it gradually back until it occupied the position from which it first advanced towards the woods. The situation was critical. If the enemy was not immediately checked disastrous results might be expected. The 2d Missouri came gallantly up to the rescue and with deafening cheers advanced upon the enemy. The 2d Michigan re-animated by this assistance, advanced as skirmishers before the 3d Missouri, and the 15th Missouri came after as a support In vain the enemy opened upon the advancing line a murderous fire.
