Wood's Brigade

Colonel James Wood's brigade, in Ward's division of the U.S. army, held the left of the Twentieth Army Corps line in the ravine north of Collier Road, where its left joined Kimball's brigade. Newton's division of the Fourth Army Corps was nearby. Featherston's Confederate attack was delayed by skirmishers while Wood deployed his four regiments to meet it in a counter-assault that drove the Mississippians up the slope. An attempt to penetrate the Federal line between Wood and Kimball was prevented by the Seventy-third and Fifty-fifth Ohio regiments. Driven to and south of the road, Featherston then tried to dislodge Wood's troops from rail barricades there, but lack of support on his left and right forced his withdrawal.
