Corse, a brave and efficient commander, was badly wounded in this assault.

Sherman now threatened both Bragg's flank and his stores, and made it necessary for him to weaken other points of his line to strengthen his right.

From the position I occupied I could see column after column of Bragg's forces moving against Sherman.

Every Confederate gun that could be brought to bear upon the Union forces was concentrated upon him.

J.E.Smith, with two brigades, charged up the west side of the ridge to the support of Corse's command, over open ground and in the face of a heavy fire of both artillery and musketry, and reached the very parapet of the enemy.
