Both General Torbert, the commanderin-chief of the cavalry, an Colonel Lowell, nor General Merritt, nor General Torbert, in reporting the engagement, mention the wounded and left at a farm house. Afterward Torbert came along with his cavalry corps, put him innd and McMasters was in front of them. While Torbert's, Merritt's and Lowell's reports betray the ssions have cooled. It will be observed that Torbert, Merritt and Lowell, in their reports, contraEarly's men; but I don't believe he hung any.
