About 10 a.m. this brigade with Polk's on its right moved forward to the attack from this ground. By obliquing to the left, while Polk obliqued to the right a gap was formed into which Deshler's Brigade was transferred. Wood, supported by a part of Stewart's Division on the left advanced across the Poe Field nearly to the Lafayette Road, and the left engaged the Union troops posted in the edge of the timber west of it. The Brigade struck the angle of the Union works, and the whole line soon received a heavy enfilading fire from these works and was compelled to retire to the vicinity of its morning position.
