Short Skirmish at Rowland Mills (July 22nd)

A Union cavalry battalion was moving south down the Germantown Pike on July 22nd and approached Rowland Mills, occupied by a regiment of Confederate infantry. The infantry moved forward to engage. The cavalry dismounted and fired briefly, but then broke and retreated north back up the pike. Casualties were light and Confederates were left in possession of Rowland Mills.
