The brigade, being the right of the division, advanced at 11:20 A.M. from the low ground 700 yards east of the Lafayette road. Crossing the road with its center near this point it attacked Carlin's brigade of Davis' division just formed behind rude barricades. Forced it back upon Laiboldt's brigade, and with the assistance of Anderson's brigade on its left, and the 15th Alabama, Col. Oates, on its right, pushed the forces back upon Lytle's brigade, which with Bradley's on the right of the latter was attempting to hold the crest. These union forces were broken in driven over the high ground west of the Crawfish Springs road. Deas' brigade then moved to the right and participated during the afternoon in the assault upon Snodgrass Hill from the vicinity



of the Vittetoe house.
