10th Regiment Cavalry
Over this Smith charged, to find himself confronted by Hume's division of rebel cavalry, 2,000 strong, drawn up in line of battle, scarcely 300 yards from the bridge. Of course he had to get away, which he succeeded in doing without any very great loss, though the enemy charged him for seven miles. The boldness of the thing annoyed the rebels not a little, and they ever after entertained a wholesome fear of the 10th Michigan Cavalry.
This regiment, in command of Colonel Trowbridge, was stationed at Strawberry Plains, September 1, 1864, engaged in fortifying that point, and in the usual routine of camp duty and occasional scouting. On the 4th it participated in surprising and routing Morgan's forces.
