The Memoirs of General Ulysses S. Grant
Part 5.

CHAPTER LIV
23/27

This time the assault was successful, both sides losing a considerable number of men.

But our troops had to bury the dead, and found that more Confederate than Union soldiers had been killed.

The position was easily held, because our infantry was near.
On the 29th a reconnoissance was made in force, to find the position of Lee.

Wright's corps pushed to Hanover Court House.

Hancock's corps pushed toward Totopotomoy Creek; Warren's corps to the left on the Shady Grove Church Road, while Burnside was held in reserve.
