Headquarters Fourth Va. Cavalry, June 20th, 1863. Captain J. D. Ferguson, A. A. G. Lee's Brigade:
Captain,--I submit the following report of the part taken by the troops under my command in the engagement near Aldie on the 17th instant.
I was ordered to take my own regiment, the First and Fifth, and Breathed's battery through Middleburg to Aldie, and go into camp there, where I would find the rest of the brigade.
On reaching Dover Mills, I ordered Colonel Rosser to go on to Aldie and select a camp, and whilst the other regiments were watering, received a dispatch from him to the effect that a regiment of the enemy's cavalry was in his front, between him and Aldie, and that he was about to attack them.
I at once placed the Fourth regiment in position to cover my left flank on the road from the Snickersville pike, and with the First regiment and two of Breathed's guns went forward to the supp

Headquarters Wickham's brigade, July 2, 1864. Major J. D. Ferguson, A. A. G., Fitz Lee's Cavalry Division:
Major,--I have the honor to submit the following report of the part taken by my command in the engagement of June 29, 1864, near Reams's Station:
Upon reaching Carter's house I was ordered to dismount one of my regiments and send it in to the support of General Lomax, who had been ordered to make a flank attack whilst General Mahone attacked in front; to keep two regiments in hand ready for mounted action, and to put one in rear of our trains to guard them.
The Second Virginia cavalry was dismounted, and supported General Lomax in his attack.
This attack was followed by a rout.
So soon as the enemy began to fly my two mounted regiments (the Third and Fourth Virginia) were thrown forward in the pursuit, passing the park of the enemy's wagons and caissons that they had fired.
I made a detail that saved nin

Headquarters Fifth Virginia cavalry, August 4th, 1863. Captain J. D. Ferguson:
Captain,--The brigade leaving Piedmont, in Loudoun county, on the morning of the 17th of June, I was ordered to withdraw my pickets after the column had passed, and followed in the rear.
Marching via Paris and Upperville, I arrived at Dover (near Aldie) about 12 or 1 o'clock, finding the brigade going into camp.
I received an order from Colonel Wickham, under whose command I had been temporarily placed, to move down the road and select a camp, make my men comfortable, &c. I consequently did so, and when I was just passing the brigade, I met the pickets running in, and the Yankees were rapidly and closely pursuing them.
I caused sabres to be drawn, and charged immediately, at the same time sending the information to the rear to the Colonel commanding.
I drove the enemy upon his main body, which was in the town of Aldie.
His sharp-shooters got
