On September 17, 1862, Weber's Brigade of French's Division, Second Army Corps, under Brig. Gen. Max Weber and including the 1st Delaware Infantry, 5th Maryland Infantry, and 4th New York Infantry, formed the advance of French's Division, encountered the enemy near Roulette's House at about 9:15 a.m., pushed them back to the Bloody Lane, and gained a position on the high ground about 60 yards north of this point. There the brigade fought in an obstinate contest until, after losing one-third of its numbers in killed and wounded, it was relieved by Morris' Brigade and withdrawn to the vicinity of Roulette's House, where it remained until the close of the day.
