Gen. W.S. Featherston´s Mississippi brigade of Loring´s div., Stewart´s A.C. [confederate] together with Scott´s brigade (on his left), advanced from trenches at & near Loring´s Hill .9 miles S.W. Traversing a broken area of tangled forest the brigade crossed Tanyard Branch under fire from Geary´s batteries west of it & struck Collier Road in this sector.
Dislodging Coburn´s skirmishers ~ the 22d Wis. Posted behind rail barricades at the S. side of the rd., the brigade moved down the slope N. toward Coburn´s & Wood´s positions. Pressed back to the abandoned barricades, front & flank attacks forced its withdrawal.
