Meade's Division, First Army Corps

On September 17, 1862, U.S.A. Meade's Division of the First Army Corps, commanded by Maj. Gen. George G. Meade, formed at about 6:30 a.m. with Seymour's Brigade on the left and in advance and Magilton's and Anderson's Brigades in columns of masses in support. As Anderson and Magilton emerged from the North Woods, they were deployed to fill the gap between Doubleday's and Ricketts' Divisions. Magilton's Brigade was soon withdrawn and moved to the left in support of Seymour and Ricketts. Through the gap thus made the enemy attempted to advance, but were checked by the fire of the Corps Artillery and by the arrival of the Twelfth Army Corps.
