The Northern division, under Gregg, that had come up behind, fell with all its force on the Southern flank.

Had it driven in the Southern lines here, Pleasanton's victory would have been assured, but the men in gray, knowing that they must stand, stood with a courage that defied everything.

The heavy Northern masses could not drive them away, and then Stuart, whirling about, charged the North in turn with his thousands of horsemen.

They were met by more Northern cavalry coming up, and the combat assumed a deeper and more furious phase.
Sherburne, with the fragment of his troop and Harry by his side, was in this charge.

The effect of it upon Harry, as upon his older comrade, was bewildering.
