in him, even as he had unwavering trust in his cavalry leader. Following Yellow tavern, came Hampton's great fight at Trevilian station, and sharp combats at Todd's tavern, White house, Haws' shop, Hanover and Ashland. In these, General Barringer says the cavalry was more and more following Forrest's example, and fighting on foot. The saber was giving place to the more deadly short rifle. The First, Second and Fifth were all active and daring in their service in these trying days. In June, Colonel Barringer was commissioned brigadier-general and assumed command of Gordon's brigade, and Lieutenant-Colonel Cowles became commander of the First regiment, as Colonel Cheek was away wounded.

This promise was fulfilled early in June, and soon afterward he took his men to the Shenandoah valley, and joined in the movement through vision, repelling repeated furious assaults, and again before Petersburg fought in the battles of June. From the Petersburg trenches he moved in December with his division to Wilmington to confront Bwhere there was not a Confederate line between that city and the enemy. In the famous battles of June before Petersburg, Martin and his brigade displayed courage, discipline and fortitude unsurpassedstormed the enemy's breastworks, playing a prominent part in the corking up of Butler's army. In June he took command of Early's cavalry in the movement against Hunter and the expedition through Mary was concentrated at Cumberland gap, in the defense of which it took part until the evacuation in June. Under the command of General Stevenson, Colonel Vance and his regiment took part in the assault
