Although the fighting has been raging back and forth in the middle of Soudersburg town, units on the Confederate right and Federal left have reportedly suffered the heaviest loss so far.
Hotlz's Brigade is said to have taken severe losses during an assault on Quinn's Brigade and Shanosky's Battery and the pursuit of Fondy's Division as it fell back towards the northwest corner of town.
Both Rasmussen's and Quinn's Brigade have taken very heavy losses, but they have exacted a heavy toll on Rockne's assaulting division in the process.
