11th Cavalry


I will here make mention of an important feature of the raid which I have omitted, to wit: We destroyed all the bridges, depots, and other buildings belonging to the Virginia and Tennessee railroad, telegraph offices, etc., from the lines of East Tennessee to ten miles beyond Wytheville.
" After we had destroyed all the government property, which too the whole command full 14 hours, we retired from the city, marching in the direction of Saltville. We moved about five miles and went into camp about 9 o'clock A. M. of the 17th for five hours, for the puropse of giving the men a little rest, who were much fatigued from the heavy marches made since leaving Bean Station. At 7 o'clock we were again in the saddle and resumed the march, the 1st brigade being in the advance.
