U. S. Civil War
Twenty Seventh Regiment Infantry
Affairs were in this condition when I was summoned, with the other division commanders, to corps headquarters about 12: 30 P. M. During my absence the work was evacuated under orders of the brigade commanders inside, sent to them from the major general commanding.
At the time of the evacuation the enemy made a third assault with a column of reinforcements from General Hill's corps. This assault was virtually a repulse by the fire of our artillery, particularly by Roomer's 34th New York and Mayo's 3d Maine batteries, and by the men remaining in the crater, whom the order to withdraw did not reach.
