FEBRUARY 7, 1863:
Near Williamsburg, Virginia, a squadron
of the 5th Pennsylvania Cavalry is ambushed by the Rebels, when "twenty
saddles were emptied the first volley". Other riders were wounded and
de-horsed when they ran into wire stretched across the road, as the Rebel
cavalry bore down upon them. The Union lost over 35 men, either killed or
captured.
