Gen. O. O. Howard of the 11th Corps had held Charles Coster's brigade in reserve on Cemetery Hill. Now Coster was sent forward to cover the retreat. His brigade took up a position in a brickyard on the northern outskirts of town and was attacked from two sides by the brigades of Harry Hays and Isaac Avery. After a desperate delaying action, Coster, too, retreated through town to take up a position on Cemetery Hill. |
