sabre wound and taken prisoner to the Old Capitol, Washington. Being soon exchanged, and before his wound was healed, he was again in command of his company.


In the twelve days' fighting in the Wilderness the Bath Squadron, commanded by him, lost heavily. He was severely wounded at Sapony Church.


In the two days' fighting at Trevilians his squadron was actively engaged and lost heavily. He was shot through the thigh at Amelia Springs, and fought next day in the desperate charge at High Bridge.


After Appomattox he rode home-230 miles-notwithstanding his painful wound.


After the retiring of Col. O. R. Funsten, by seniority M. D. Ball became entitled to the rank of colonel, E. H. McDonald of lieutenant- colonel, and Foxhall A. Dangerfield of major of the Eleventh Cavalry.


He was known throughout the brigade as a brave and sagacious officer.


Maj. Holmes Conrad said of him, "The sum of his virtues and graces is just that he wore the white flower of a blameless life, and they that knew him best can appreciate the fragrance and beauty of that life in all its symmetry and perfection.

A HISTORY OF THE LAUREL BRIGADE


At daybreak on the 9th the cavalry corps, about 2,400 men, took position on the right of Gordon's infantry, on the Lynchburg Road, a short distance west of Appomattox Court House, Rosser's division in the center.


"The attack was made about sunrise and the enemy's cavalry quickly driven out of the way, with a loss of two guns and a number of prisoners."8


Rosser's division participated in this the last cavalry charge of the war, the Laurel Brigade led by the dauntless "Lige" White,-and when the Lynchburg Road was reached wheeled about for the purpose of attacking the enemy moving towards Appomattox.


But soon in the distance white flags were seen, and from the mingling of the blue and grey which followed, it became evident that all was over.


Rosser now rode off with his command to Lynchburg. The Laurel Brigade-the remnant of it,-upon reaching Lynchburg was disbanded by Colonel White, who informed the men that Lee had surrendered, and that the men of the Laurel Brigade were at liberty either to accept the terms of- surrender or to make an effort to join the army of Joseph E. Johnston; as to which, each man would have to decide for himself.


A considerable part of the Twelfth Regiment under com- mand of Lieut. Wm. F. Anderson of Company G, which had participated in the last charge, did not escape with the brigade towards Lynchburg, but surrendered at Appomat- tox, according to the special terms agreed upon by Generals I.ce and Grant, for the cavalry of the Army of Northern Virginia.
