C.S.A.

— Maj. William Blessing —

First stationed across the highway and on the extreme right of the Confederate line, the 23rd Battalion was later moved to support the 19th Va. Cavalry on the left flank. After an initial charge that temporarily halted the Federal advance, the 23rd slowly fell back to a fence bordering this field. Here they were reinforced by men from the 22nd Va. Infantry and the 14th Va. Cavalry, but to no avail. Overwhelmed by the Union advance, they were driven back to the highway.
