Early the next morning General Hancock ordered it again into action, on the right of the Second Corps. Wadsworth charged repeatedly with his division and carried an important point, which he was unable to hold, owing to the supe- rior force of the enemy. He was afterwards re-enforced, and, with six brigades, made three or four other assaults upon Hill's Corps, which was the one opposed to him. In these assaults he fought Avitli the greatest gallantry, having two horses killed under him. At elev...en o'clock, General Hancock ordered him to withdraw, and there was a lull in the battle until about noon, when Long- street precipitated his force upon Wadsworth's left and drove back Ward's brigade, at that point, in some con- fusion. Wadsworth thereupon immediately threw for- ward his second line, composed of his own division, and formed it on the plank-road, at right angles with his original position. It was while trying to hold this line, with his own division, then reduced to about sixteen hundred men, that his third horse was shot under him, and he was himself struck in the head by a bullet.
