At about 3 p.m., the battle of Champion's Hill ended amid terrible loss and fierce fighting against a vastly superior foe. The Twelfth Division, joined by Quinby's men, had fought with unflinching firmness and stubborn valor, and the field was left strewn in wild confusion with dead and wounded men, horses, cannon, and the debris of an army. Hundreds of the division's soldiers were dead or in agony, lying intermixed with their fallen enemies as the survivors remained on the field through the night among the dead and dying.
