About 6 p.m. on May 10, 1864, a quarter of a mile beyond this point, Upton's lines fixed bayonets, broke silence with a wild cheer, and charged from the piney woods across a 200-yard clearing to the Confederate trenches. Though a counterattack threw them back and they lost some 1,000 men killed, wounded, and missing, Upton's force brought off more than 1,000 prisoners. Mott's division had been expected to attack from the north, but Confederate artillery around the apex of the Salient swept a wide open field and easily kept Mott at bay. At the same time, Federal attacks along the Brock Road front also failed.
