Unnamed sergeant's deliverance from death through a prophetic dream

“Three days before the engagement at Kelly's Ford; a corporal in the Sixth Michigan cavalry dreamed that a brother of his, who was sergeant in another company, would have his horse killed in the action, and would almost immediately mount a dark bay horse with a white nose. Within five minutes both horse and rider would be killed by a shell. This dream was related to more than a score of comrades fully two days before the fight. Early in the action the sergeant's horse was struck square in the forehead by a bullet, and dropped dead in his tracks. It was scarcely three minutes before a white-nosed horse, carrying a blood-stained saddle galloped up to the sergeant and halted. He remembered the dream, and refused to mount the animal, and soon after picked up a black horse. The white-nosed animal was mounted by a second corporal in another regiment, and horse and rider were torn to fragments by a shell, in full sight of four companies of the Sixth. — Millennial Star 83:20”
