American Civil War
SIXTEENTH REGIMENT INFANTRY
As far as
Upperville our infantry led the cavalry, when, exhausted after their thirteen miles' march, much of it on double quick, and being out of ammunition, the cavalry were obliged to lend a helping hand.
"A company of the 4th cavalry attempted to take the bridge referred to, but a volley from the enemy sent them back in confusion.
" Give me the horses to mount twenty-five men and I'll take the bridge, ' said Captain Fuller of Michigan (16th Michigan).
