Seven Days Battles

Across the road here, the Union line of battle stretched in the afternoon of July 1, 1862. Couch’s, Kearney’s, and Hooker’s divisions were east of the road, Morell was west of it, and Sykes was in reserve. The Confederates made several attacks, and for a time the battle trembled in the balance, but the assailants were finally repulsed. During the night, the Union army withdrew to James River.
