C.S.A.
— Col. William Wiley Arnett —
From behind breastworks and with artillery support, the 20th Va. occupied a strong position overlooking the highway at the Confederate center. In mid-afternoon, however, they were flanked on the left and overran in desperate hand to hand fighting at the breastworks. They fell back to here, somewhat closer the artillery, and held their ground until ordered back to the highway. Nearly cut off from the rest of the Confederate army, they suffered heavy losses as they rushed for the main road.| HM Number | HMMZ9 |
