At 5:30 p.m. on August 29, 1862, the 63rd Pennsylvania Infantry of the 1st Brigade under Robinson, First Division under Kearny, Third Corps under Heintzelman, Army of the Potomac, U.S.A., commanded by Col. Alexander Hays, charged with bayonets and loud yells, but after closing on the enemy and meeting a withering volley that caused the line to shrivel up and reel back, rapidly rallied and made another effort before murderous fire again forced it to fall back, leaving many dead and wounded behind.
