Second Regiment Cavalry
They charged our right," left, and center, but each time rolled back, paying dearly for their rashness, our Spencers cutting them up fearfully. Though they outnumbered us four to one, men and officers stood nobly to their posts, although the day was the hottest of the season. In less than three hours after the fight began we forced them to retire, leaving their dead and wounded in our hands. The casualties of the regiment were one killed and three slightly wounded, not including Lieutenant Levi Brown, who received a flesh wound in the left shoulder, lieutenant H. H. Sanborn, acting Adjutant, while carrying orders to the line, had his horse shot from under him and was severely hurt.
