Seymour's Brigade became engaged at daybreak, and advanced on either side of this road into the East Wood, where it became heavily engaged with the enemy.
At the western edge of the East Wood its advance was checked by the enemy, and its ammunition having been exhausted, it was relieved about 7 a.m. by Ricketts' Division, and withdrawn to the ridge in the rear of Joseph Poffenberger's.
