American Civil War
SIXTEENTH REGIMENT INFANTRY
"I have the honor to report that, in obedience to orders from the general commanding the division, I moved to Middleburg during the morning of Sunday, and at 7 A. M., under the direction of General Pleasanton, commanding the expedition, took the position on the left of the cavalry of General Gregg's column, on the Ashby Gap road.
'The dismounted men of the enemy were in position on the south side of the road, behind a series of stone walls running at right angles with it, the cavalry in the fields, and a battery of six guns placed near the road on the left. A belt of woods, some 200 yards, marked their position.
