As Hancock's left and centre were thus checked by Gordon's audacious line of skirmishers and Lane's disposition of his brigade on Hill's left, and finally hurled back by this splended charge of Gordon's brigades, so his right was met by Ramseur's North Carolina brigade, of General Rodes' division, who attacked and pressed it steadily back towards the angle. Rodes bringing up the rest of his division to Ram- seur's assistance, Hancock was thrown completely back on that portion of the captured li...ne to the left of the salient, and here, in this narrow space, was waged the tremendous combat throughout tlie entire day. In the space between the contending lines lay fourteen of the eighteen pieces of artillery, swept over by the Fed- erals as they leaped into the salient in the early morning, before they were even unlimbercd — neither party being able to take posession of them. What was left of Johnson's division had been im- mediately attached to Gordon's command, and at an early hour a portion of Gordon's men were set to work to make a strong entrenched line, about three hundred yards in rear of the cap- tured salient, in order thus to render its occupation of no advan- tage to the foe.
