“I have the honor to report that I drove the enemy back on the left in great disorder, captured a number of prisoners. I occupied the position that was given up by the left of General Kershaw’s line, within fifty yards of Tilghman’s Gate, when I received the order to withdraw.” Gary to Ewell, July 27, 1864 in OR Vol. 40, Part 3, pp. 811-812
