Civil War
Third Regiment Infantry
This brigade has suffered severely and is much reduced. The ground we fought on was swampy and thickly wooded. It was almost impossible to keep our line connected. The enemy repeatedly attempted to turn our left, but by the exertions of Colonel Stevens and Major Pierce, were as often handsomely met and repulsed.
" Colonel Poe's three companies first concentrated were sent by order of General
Heintzelman to form a line across the rear to prevent straggling from the army. The other five companies were reported also to General Heintzelman and went into action on the main road under the command of Colonel Poe in person.
