In the Army of Northern Virginia, Hill's Corps, Anderson's Division, Perry's Brigade, including the 2nd, 5th, and 8th Florida Infantry, formed line in the forenoon on the western border of these woods on July 2. It advanced at 6 p.m. and helped drive back the Union lines on Emmitsburg Road, and by rapid pursuit compelled the temporary abandonment of several guns. At the foot of the slope it met Union infantry, and when the line on the right retired, it also fell back. The color bearer of the 8th Florida fell and its flag was lost.
