Second Battle of Manassas

August 29, 1862
3:00 p.m.

1st Brigade (Grover), Second Division (Hooker)
Third Corps (Heintzelman),
Army of the Potomac, USA

1st Massachusetts Infantry
Col. Robert Godwin


"Without artillery and without supports, our men advanced. We reached a railroad bank when from the rear of the embankment arose the enemy. They poured a tremendous volley into our lines. The effect was terrible. Men dropped in scores, writhing and trying to crawl back, or lying stone-dead where they fell. The Union line began to waver and sullenly fell back into the forest again."
- Chaplain Warren Cudworth
