But the whole Federal advance glanced off, as it were, and, changing its direction, it turned toward the Federal line in front of Fairview, where it approached the position of Knipe's and Ruger's brigades of Williams's division of the 12th corps. Hearing their noisy approach, and believing them to be Confederates, the Fairview guns and infantry opened fire upon the woods, while the approaching lines were still so distant that they we

Ewell says that later his instructions were modified into making a diversion, but Lee's report does not recognize such modification. Ewell interpreted his orders as calling only for a cannonade.
