Civil War
Third Regiment Infantry
We held the enemy in check and could have driven them farther forward had the centre and right of our troops been able to have held their position. About 5. 30 P. M., I discovered the 37th New York moving to rear. On inquiry, I found they had been ordered to fall back by the General of division to prevent being flanked and captured.
I then gave orders to the other regiments to fall back also, some portions of which did not get it in consequence of the thick woods, but all did make good then movement to the rear and came into this camp in fair order.
