On August 28, 1862, at 6:30 p.m., Company B, 4th U.S. Artillery, commanded by Capt. Joseph B. Campbell and armed with six 12-pounder Napoleons, served with the 1st Division under King in the Third Corps under McDowell of the Army of Virginia. Brig. Gen. John Gibbon recalled that Campbell's guns came up at a gallop, fences along the pike were torn down so they could pass into the field, and despite shells bursting around them, the battery went into position on the knoll from which he had first seen the enemy's guns and began firing back rapidly.
