The Daily Dispatch: May 19, 1864., [Electronic resource], From General Lee's army. (search)
Fields's division, who occupied nearly the centre of our line, attacked us at least twelve different times, but were as often repulsed. And just before night the enemy charged up to and for a while carried the breastworks in front of Anderson's Georgia and Robertson's Texas brigades, but our men rallied, whilst McCarthy's company of Richmond Howitzers poured into them a most destructive fire of grape and canister, which compelled them to retire.

Wadsworth, of the Federal army, received a mortal wound in the head, and is now in one of our hospitals. Brig. Gen. Hays, of the same army, was killed. At half-past 4 o'clock Gen. Lee determined to feel of the enemy and ascertain his position on Brock's road. On the right, where I had my position, the brigades of
