At 2:45 in the afternoon on December 16, 1864, four Union brigades, including one United States Colored Troops regiment, assaulted Peach Orchard Hill in an attempt to dislodge the far right Confederate flank. In a series of attacks, the U.S.C.T.'s 13th Tennessee Infantry Regiment advanced as close as the abatis protecting the Confederate log and earthen breastworks before falling back with heavy casualties. Five color bearers from the regiment lost their lives.
