Civil War American
THIRTEENTH REGIMENT INFANTRY
Two companies of infantry and a section of artillery were sent out to reconnoiter and feel of the enemy. When about half a mile from the fort a force of rebel cavalry were seen in a piece of woods in advance, directly in the road. The artillery opened on them at once, when they scattered, pursued by skirmishers through the woods until they came upon a large force of infantry, cavalry, and artillery, when fire was opened on them by the artillery.
