Well I suppose the group I described may have been together at more than one defense action. But the one I had in mind was the defense action at the Oconee River railroad bridge near the little community of Oconee, Ga. south of Milledgeville.
This link takes you to a little information about the action there. The 4th Kentucky Mounted Infantry Bridage was the regular Army I mentioned. They were referred to as the Orphan Bridade.
