Second Regiment Cavalry
A continuous storm of leaden hail raged around them. The 3d Missouri steadily moved forward until the dismayed and conquered rebels broke and fled. For more than a mile the conquerors pursued and only gave up the chase when they were ordered back to their first position.
The 2d Michigan was more or less engaged during the rest of the day; the battle continuing until darkness put an end to the contest. During the night and next morning the enemy fell back to Harrodsburg followed by the cavalry and other troops. The regiment encountered the enemy there on the 10th, on the 12th at Lancaster, and subsequently at Rocastle river.
