We were in battles at Sampson's Cross Roads May 9, at Ashland May 11, and in front of Richmond May 13. My horse gave out on the second day of the raid, and I had the alternative of either keeping up with the column on foot or of paying an involuntary visit to Richmond and some rebel prison. I preferred the former. As the column was pushed along rapidly, it was a hard tramp, and as
