Cavalry - First Corps - Army of the Mississippi

The First Mississippi Cavalry operated as a reserve to Cheatham's division. At about 5.30 p.m. on Sunday, just after the surrender of Prentiss, it charged upon and captured Ross's battery as it was making its way to the river. It afterwards crossed the head of Dill Branch and started with 30 or 40 men to charge another battery, but finding itself in presence of the infantry, retired and proceeded to the bank of the Tennessee River at Brown's Ferry.

Two companies were sent Sunday morning in the direction of Adamsville to watch the movements of Lew Wallace; other companies engaged in the rear of Russell's brigade until afternoon, when they were sent to the extreme left and were engaged against the Fourteenth Missouri and in Wharton's charge. They bivouacked Sunday night in the valley of Tilghman Creek near Owl Creek. General Polk in person followed the line of the Pittsburg road. He assumed personal direction of the battle in front of Rhea House, directing the two brigades of his own corps and one each of Hardee's and Bragg's corps, and when the line was finally carried he pushed his commands forward without waiting to reorganize them. He says his three brigades-Stewart's, Russell's and Johnson's-with occasionally a regiment from some other corps, fought over the same ground three times. He was present at the surrender of Prentiss and directed some of the troops toward the Landing, and when ordered to withdraw retired to his bivouac of Saturday night. On Monday he commanded the left center again and fought over the same ground as on Sunday. This corps and its divisions were entirely disintegrated before reaching the first camps of the enemy and did not again serve in the battle as divisions or corps.
