The Memoirs of General Ulysses S. Grant
Part 5.

CHAPTER LIV
24/27

Our advance was pushed forward three miles on the left with but little fighting.

There was now an appearance of a movement past our left flank, and Sheridan was sent to meet it.
On the 30th Hancock moved to the Totopotomoy, where he found the enemy strongly fortified.

Wright was moved to the right of Hancock's corps, and Burnside was brought forward and crossed, taking position to the left of Hancock.

Warren moved up near Huntley Corners on the Shady Grove Church Road.

There was some skirmishing along the centre, and in the evening Early attacked Warren with some vigor, driving him back at first, and threatening to turn our left flank.
