Civil War
Seventh Regiment Infantry
This regiment was ordered to be deployed as skirmishers to cover our left flank and rear. Soon after deploying, a force of infantry was discovered marching in the same direction some fifty rods on our left. The enemy soon opened fire on us, and we fell back to the railroad. At this time a brigade of the 3d division came up and occupied the same ground which we then held. The enemy were advancing with an evident determination to obtain possession of the line of railroad, and soon exposed their right flank. At this time we opened upon them with a right oblique fire, and were soon ordered to charge upon them, by General Hays, commanding the 3d division, and they soon fell back in disorder.
