Four regiments, the 33d and 85th Indiana, 19th Michigan, and 22d Wisconsin, in Colonel John Coburn’s brigade of Ward’s 3d division, 20th A.C., were posted in this sector, with the 22d Wisconsin on the ridge as skirmishers and the other three in the ravine north of the road. The left of Featherston’s brigade [CS] swept north across the road, driving and pursuing the 22d Wisconsin down the slope, only to be assailed in turn by Coburn’s regiments advancing from the ravine, aided by the left of Harrison’s brigade and the right of Wood’s brigade. Featherston withdrew to the barricades at the road, but a lack of support on right and left forced his withdrawal.
