10th Regiment Cavalry
I at once threw out a heavy skirmish line, a half mile or so from the camp, and soon the business of the day began. The fighting was sharp and constant during the day, until late in the afternoon, when the enemy retired up the river on our side, and the infantry and artillery on the other side drew back beyond the reach of our guns. The enemy continued in our immediate front on the other side of the river until the 21st, when they commenced falling back and Major Newell crossed the river and drove the last ones from College Hill. There had been skirmishing every day, but nothing serious after the 17th.
