American Civil War
SIXTEENTH REGIMENT INFANTRY
A large body of cavalry with a portion of General Sykes's division, and the 1st brigade (Colonel Barnes commanding), and the 3d brigade (under my command) of Morrell's division, were ordered to cross and make a reconnoissance. The cavalry and the first two brigades had crossed, and I had just crossed with a portion of my brigade when the enemy were discovered advancing in large force, evidently intending to overwhelm us before other troops could be thrown over to our assistance.
