The entrenchments near these farm dwellings werered. The gray lines pressed on. The next stand would be made at Seven Pines, where Couch was stationed. The forces here had been weakened bhole Union army south of the Chickahominy was doomed. Over at Seven Pines the center of McClellan's army was about to be routed. Now it w
