Excerpt from History of the Ninth Virginia Cavalry, in the War Between the States
On the 6th day of July, dismounted and in line with an infantry company from Caroline county, armed with rifles and called The Sparta Grays, and led by Major R. M. Mayo, they attacked a body of marines which had been landed, and were throwing up breastworks on, the shore, and drove them, with considerable loss, back to the steamer, which was forced to slip her cables and retire with the loss of Captain \vard, United States navy, her commander.
Though daily exposed to the fire of cannon from gunboats in the river, and often to that of the rifles of the marines, the company escaped without the loss of a man.
About the middle of July we were ordered to Brooke's Station, in Stafford county, on the Richmond, Fredericksburg and Potomac railroad, and on the morning of the 20th of that month assigned to duty with the Thirtieth Virginia Infantry, commanded by Colonel R. Milton Cary, of Richmond city As the advance guard of this regiment, we moved in the evening to the old village of Acquia, and bivouacked for the night.
