They were fighting fiercely to our front and left, the line of fire slightly overlapping the pike, although, from the led horses in the rear, the troops engaged on this extremity were mostly dismounted cavalry.

Marching columns were still approaching from the south, swinging off from the pike as they neared the house, and disappearing into a grove of trees to the east.
The land in that direction was rough, and I could only guess at the formation by the sound of firing, and the dense clouds of smoke.

It was out there the artillery was massed, although in all of Chambers' command I saw but two batteries.

The heaviest fighting was to the east, not so far away but what we were within shell range, and yet out of direct view, while to the north the Confederates could be seen struggling to gain possession of a low hill.

Their first rush had dislodged the Federals from the log church, but had been halted just below in the hollow.
