July 9, 1864. Roswell bridge, having been destroyed by the retreating Confederates, Garrard's cav. [US] waded the river at Shallow Ford in face of opposition from the south side.

Wilder's brigade (Miller, commanding) led off ~ its 4 regiments abreast as skirmishers, followed by the 3 regiments of Minty's brigade.

The ridge, 300 yds. S. of the river, was seized, intrenched & held by Garrard's troopers until relieved at dusk by Newton's 4th A.C. div., which had moved up from Vining's Station. Newton, in turn, was relieved by Dodge's 16th A.C. [US], July 10. Dodge's engineers built 2 bridges.
