In order to open communication with Ewell, Wilcox's division moved to the left and effected a junction with Gordon's brigade on Ewell's extreme right. The line of battle thus completed extended from the right of the plank road through a succession of open fields and dense forest to the left of the Stone turnpike.

Before daylight, on the morning of March 25th, Gordon moved his command silently forward. His pioneers were sent in advance to make llied and with overwhelming power concentrated both artillery and infantry upon Gordon's command. The supporting force which was to have followed him, notwithstandinious cheer of his men when they took Fort Steadman, failed to come forward, and Gordon's brilliant success, like the Dead Sea fruit, was turned to ashes at the momenther works, and had not rejoined the main body.
