On August 28, 1862, at 7:15 p.m., the 21st North Carolina Infantry of Trimble's Brigade, Ewell's Division, Left Wing under Jackson, Army of Northern Virginia, C.S.A., halted at a fence, quickly tore it down, and piled the rails in front for protection. Lieutenant Colonel Sanders Fulton and his men faced Federal troops in a gully about 100 yards away. They opened fire, but darkness soon prevented them from seeing the enemy's position, and they fired instead at the flashes of the Federals' guns as the Federals likely did at theirs.
