Greene's Division, Twelfth Army Corps

On September 17, 1862, Greene's Division of the Twelfth Army Corps, commanded by Brig. Gen. Geo. S. Greene, formed line about 8 a.m. a short distance beyond the East Woods, advanced to their eastern edge, and struck the right of the Confederate line at and north of this point. After a short and sharp contest, Tyndale's and Stainrook's brigades turned the Confederate right and compelled Confederate forces north of the Smoketown Road and east of the Hagerstown Pike to withdraw to the West Woods and the fields south of the Smoketown Road. The two brigades then moved obliquely to the left, with Tyndale on the right and Stainrook on the left, crossed the Smoketown Road, and pursued to the ridge on Mumma's Farm east of the Dunkard Church.
