The Memoirs of General Ulysses S. Grant
Part 5.

CHAPTER LIV
7/27

A brigade of Cutler's division was driven back, the enemy following, but assistance coming up the enemy was in turn driven back into his trenches with heavy loss in killed and wounded, with about five hundred prisoners left in our hands.

By night Wright's corps was up ready to reinforce Warren.
On the 23d Hancock's corps was moved to the wooden bridge which spans the North Anna River just west of where the Fredericksburg Railroad crosses.

It was near night when the troops arrived.

They found the bridge guarded, with troops intrenched, on the north side.

Hancock sent two brigades, Egan's and Pierce's, to the right and left, and when properly disposed they charged simultaneously.
