What an uproar!" The combat swelled to great proportions.

The Southern army, being compelled to fight, fought now with all its might.

The crest of the long hill blazed with fire.

The men in gray used every advantage of position.
Cannon and rifles raked the woods and thickets, and at many points the Union attack was driven back.

The sun rose slowly and they still held the hill, fighting with all the fire and valor characteristic of the South.
