About 11 o'clock the three left regiments of the Brigade advanced, followed and aided by its Battery, from the woods to the east of this position, supported by Stewart's Division on its left, and made a persistent attack upon King's Brigade, posted just west of the Lafayette Road. The left of the Brigade crossed the road near the Poe House. The combined attack of this Brigade and Stewart's Division was repulsed by the Union troops in position west of the road behind rail barricades, well supported by artillery, and also from a flank and rear fire from breastworks in the woods northeast of the field. The attacking



forces then retired to the lines from which they had advanced, and were not again seriously engaged until toward sundown.
