The cavalry corps were, on June 28, ferried across the James River to the south side, and we moved up towards Petersburg, taking posi- tion on the left and rear of our army at that point. During the months of July and August, Sheridan was kept very busy marching his cavalry from the left of the Army of the Potomac over to the right of the Army of the James and back again. In every one of these movements we were hotly engaged dismountal, and struck some severe blows, invariably killing some gene...ral officer belonging to the enemy. On one of these occasions, after moving over to the right, Sheridan was ordered to embark two of his divisions upon transports, and instead of going up the James he went down, crossed the bay and went up the Potomac to Washington, and thence to the Shenandoah Valley. The history of his succeeding campaign is familiar to all. Gregg's division remained with the Army of the Potomac, covering its left and rear, taking ihe advance in all reconnoissances in force made by the army.
