The Brigade, the advance of its division, arrived in the Dyer Field west of Poe's about 5 o'clock. Its lines were deployed and the skirmishers became engaged upon the left flank of Bate's Brigade of Stewart's Division which had penetrated the Union line between the Poe and Brotherton houses. Under the direct fire of 20 guns assembled on the north line of the Poe Field and the threatening movement of Croxton's Brigade upon its flank, Bate's line withdrew to the woods east of the LaFayette Road, and Croxton's Brigade with the rest of Brannan's Division bivouacked in the Dyer Field.
