Excerpt......The extreme right of Johnson’s Division was attacked about 6.30 a. m., and the engagement extended gradually toward our left, the attacking columns of the enemy moving in echelon from their left to their right; the attack struck Johnson’s flank, and, although portions of the division made a gallant stand, the weight of the attack was too much for the division. Johnson having been flanked and driven back, it became Davis’ turn to be taken in rear and right flank, and forced back after considerable resistance. The next division, Sheridan’s, was forewarned, and offered a most determined resistance, falling back and changing front to the west as its flank and rear became vulnerable; ammunition falling short, the rebel force on his flank increasing, Sheridan commenced his retreat about 9.30 a. m., falling back slowly and fighting. Negley necessarily had now to refuse his right, change front to the west and northwest, and, running out of ammunition about 11 a. m., commence his retreat out of the cedars. This exposed the right of Palmer’s Division, compelling him, after a sharp fight, to change front to the west and fall back on the railroad, pivoting his division on the left of Hazen’s Brigade, until it was at right angles with its former position; this took place about noon.
