Wright's Brigade

Wright's Brigade of Anderson's Division, Hill's Corps, Army of Northern Virginia, including the 3rd, 22nd, and 48th Regiments and 2nd Battalion Georgia Infantry, formed line in the forenoon on July 2, advanced at 6 p.m., and dislodged Union troops posted near the Codori House, capturing several guns and many prisoners. Pursuing on, it broke the Union line at the stone wall south of the angle, reached the crest of the ridge beyond, and captured more guns. When the supports on the right were repulsed and those on the left did not come up, both flanks were assailed and converging columns threatened its rear, so it withdrew fighting its way out with heavy losses and was unable to bring off the captured guns.
