The morning hours had been spent in driving in the skirmishers and feeling the enemy's positions. Lee had given orders for a general charge on a signal yell from Armistead's brigade. He was now waiting the arrival of all his available forces before attacking. Late in the afternoon General D. H. Hill heard a shout followed by a roar of musketry and immediately ordered his division to charge. No other General 231 THE SOUTHERNER seemed to have heard it and the charge was made with- out support. It... was magnificent, but it was not war, it was sheer butchery.

Their move- ment caught the eye of a battery on the heights which opened with six guns squarely on their heads. The struggling, shattered remnants of a regiment which had been all but annihilated fell back through these woods, stumbling against the waiting men. Ned saw a soldier with a Minie ball sticking in the centre of his forehead, the blood oozing from the round, clean-cut hole beside the lead.
