Twenth-ninth Regiment Infantry
It was ascertained that the attack was made by Walthal's division, 5, 000 strong, of Stewart's corps, Hood's army, and was fought by Colonel Doolittle with less than 500 men and a small amount of artillery. During the night of the 26th the Union forces were receiving reinforcements, and on the 27th nothing more important occurred than the driving back of the enemy's skirmishers on the front and right flank. On the 28th, about 3 A. M., the enemy drove in a portion of the pickets on the right and established themselves in gopher holes within four hundred yards of the works.
