These Confederate forces moved from their position on the crest to their right and rear and joined General Bushrod Johnson's Division at the Vittetoe house shortly before 3 p.m. The remainder of Manigault's Brigade, having moved forward from the vicinity of Viniard's, rejoined the Division on the Crawfish Springs road. In the advance to this position Hindman's Division captured a large number of prisoners and guns. General William M. Lytle, commanding the first Brigade of Sheridan's Division, was killed while rallying his troops.
