Rodes looked at the carnage before him..... so many
dead. But finally blue coats running in rout. Where
was that new division?? We could rout the whole
center...

Johnson was perplexed. He kept pressing forward and
more and more yanks in his front! These men were
brave.

The Union left was in shambles, just a matter of
duck-huntin there now. One more ridge and then wheel
to the left and see how mnay we kin trap......
