Peter Lyle, and Col. R. Coulter, and a Second Brigade under Brig. General H. Baxter, arrived at the Seminary about noon on July 1 and was hotly engaged on the right and right center from about 2 p.m. until 4 p.m., when, as Rodes's Confederate Division advanced against its front and flanks, the division, by order of the commanding general, retired with the corps through Gettysburg to Cemetery Hill and took position on the left of the cemetery parallel to Emmitsburg Road. On July 2, it was relieved about noon by Third Division, Second Corps, placed in reserve, and later sent to support the Third, Eleventh, and Second Corps at different times and places.
