Looking nearly due north, from the intermediate hill, at the Loomis Union Battery position. Doctor's Creek is in the tree line in the center. Dan Adams's Confederate brigade used the creek as a screen, and burst upon Lytle's Union Brigade. The 15th Kentucky and 3rd Ohio of Lytle's Brigade tried to stem the onslaught, but were outmaneuvered and flanked
