Jenkins's Brigade, part of Stuart's Cavalry Division in the C.S.A. Army of Northern Virginia and composed of the 14th, 16th, and 17th Virginia Cavalry and the 34th and 36th Virginia Cavalry Battalions, had been with Ewell's Corps but rejoined the Cavalry Division here about noon on July 3. Armed with Enfield rifles, it reached the field with only about ten rounds of ammunition because of an oversight. While that supply lasted, the brigade was actively engaged mainly on foot as sharpshooters around and in front of the Rummel Barn and out-houses. It was withdrawn from the field at an early hour in the evening. Losses were not reported.
