On August 28, 1862, at 7:15 p.m., the 21st Georgia Infantry of Trimble's Brigade, Ewell's Division, Left Wing under Jackson in the Army of Northern Virginia, C.S.A., fought at short range after reaching a fence, poured volleys into the enemy for 30 or 40 minutes, then fixed bayonets and charged. Captain Thomas C. Glover's regiment faced Federals who held their lines until the Confederates were so close that the flashes from their guns seemed to pass through the ranks, then fled, leaving a costly Confederate victory, as recalled by Privates B. F. Jones and Charles D. Camp.
