Rodes now held Culps Hill firmly, with cavalry moving to secure his left. The yankee [XIICORPS] forming in his front, but not cohesive. We can move them... Early had won the south of the town and made steady progress towards that sunken road, pushing Baxter and Smith back against their own guns. "Make for those guns, Major...!" Andersons' entire division now in line and assaulting the remnants of the I/I, coming in along the FRONT of Seminary Ridge, getting right into the fight, as more and more of his troops come to grips with the fatigued union boys. A sound of drumbeats from the pike announcing the arrival in good order of Johnsons' division, along with yet more guns! Would they be better served moving to the south of town, to support Early, or shift them straight thru the town to backup Rodes.....perhaps both???? > > 440PM > > The 76th NY was proud. they pulled back from the > couldren of hell, not only unrouted but undisrupted, > General Cutler was waiting and gave a short speech > on their glory and then even Genral reynolds rode up > and gave them a Huzza huzza.
