"Here the Union Army lay in an entrenched camp, October 19, 1864. Crook was in the valley to the east, the Nineteenth Corps on the hillside facing south. At dawn the Confederates attached from the east and south, capturing the camp and driving the Unionists northward two miles and a half. Wright finally halted the retreat."
