Breckinridge's 9th Ky., Grigsby's brigade, Wheeler's Cav., descended from Dug Gap & patrolled the roads N & W to ascertain if any Federals were there. By 1:30 P.M., Breckenridge found Dogwood Valley swarming with Federals, a brigade of which, in support of Kilpatrick's cav., was enroute S. to Villanow. Later, the 9th Ky., confrounted by 2 brigades, Geary's div., 20th A.C., moving E., was forced to retreat to Dug Gap. Geary, reaching this vicinity at 3 P.M., deployed 2 brigades for the storming of Dug Gap. Joel got this land by swapping Land Lot 337 for Lot 306.
