Pushing Forward / Falling Back - 10:02

Tench's and Caine's Brigade push through Pyle's Brigade, keeping MacDonald's assault fresh as Maxwell's Cavalry heads towards the fight from the east. The 42nd Texas Battalion (sharpshooters) was earlier disorganized by Noll's artillery, but is returning to find a firing position.

As Howard's Brigade advances through the foundry in support of Engel's attack in the center, Fondy's Division has started advancing on the right of the Confederate line.

On 1st Street, Noll's line is starting to fall back firing, including Lambert's Battery as it fires canister into Engel's men. One the Federal left, some of Rockne's regiments have just resupplied and are returning to the line. Harper's Brigade is moving to support the action in town, as the remnants of Leahy's, Holtz's and Parseghian's Brigades advance north of Rudolph and prepare to engage Fondy again.

Bradshaw's cavalry, with the 14th Indiana from Rockne's Division are moving towards the cemetery.  As Cope's Brigade changes front on Keysville Road and faces north with Durais' Battery coming up on Cope's left with Ham's Battery.
