In front of this line Taylor rode, scanning the men as he passed. As he breasted Polignac, occupying the center of Mouton's division, he called out cheerily: Little Frenchman, I am going to fight Banks if he has a million of men! Walker's division occupied the right of the road facing Pleasant Hill, with Buchel's and Terrell's cavalry, under Bee, on the right. On the left of the same road was Mouton's superb division of Louisianians, with Major's division of cavalry (dismounted) on Mouton's left. Each division of infantry was skillfully supported by artillery, Haldeman's and Daniel's batteries on the right, in position with Walker's division. With Mouton on the left were Cornay's St. Mary's Cannoneers and Nettles' battery. A little to the rear Debray's cavalry rested on their horses. Near them

Walker on the right of the road, protected on it by twelve cannon and to the left by Debray's and Buchel's brigades of cavalry under the command of General Bee, will attack the position of College Hill; Polignac with his two brigades will keep in reserve in the rear of Bee, ready to support this attack. While this operation will divert the Federals' attention to their right, Churchill with his fresh troops will turn their left. Making a large detour to reach unseen the Sabine River road, he will deploy on the right of this road and follow it in order to reach the village of Pleasant Hill by t
