Sam Bennett, of Jasper, Tenn., writes of the fight: "I reply to J. W. Du Bose's inquiry about the Fayetteville (N. C.) road fight of March 10, 1865. General Wheeler's cavalry was there. I belonged to Smith's 4th Tennessee Cavalry, Harrison's Brigade. We had marched all night, and at daylight we formed and charged through a swamp into the enemy just across the Swamp. We ran into the 10th Ohio Cavalry and captured nearly all of them. They had not gotten up. We had some men killed and many wounded, General Harrison being one of the wounded.

Our regiment was within three hundred yards of the house out of which General Kilpatrick ran. We could plainly see it from where we were. We captured his spotted pony and gave it to General Wheeler.

Dibrell's Brigade engaged in the fight about the time we did. I don't know anything of Butler's being there. "There are several men in Nashville who were in the fight."
