Second Regiment Cavalry
On the 24th our brigade had the advance and came up with the rebels a few miles below Columbia. The 2d Michigan had the advance of the brigade. A part of the brigade, by mistake or design, separated from the balance, and the 2d Michigan and a part of the 1st Tennessee did the fighting. The Chicago Board of Trade Battery kept up, and did very good execution. The rebels had a division of cavalry as rear guard. "We drove them 16 miles and made a charge through Louisville. The orders were to move on and not stop to fight,, but we found it convenient to stop and fight several times during the day.
