Second Regiment Cavalry
At that hour there was but one company on picket, Company K, 2d Michigan Cavalry, commanded by Captain A. P. Campbell. Taking advantage of the cover of the woods, he checked the enemy long enough to receive a reinforcement of three companies, numbering only from 35 to 50 men each. The ground, although presenting advantages for defense in woods and small hills, yet had one disadvantage in having numerous roads centering on Boonville, by which the enemy could approach in almost any direction.
