Our line of battle was now extended from northwest to southeast with Hancock's Second corps on the right, Warren's Fifth corps on the right center, Sedgwick's Sixth corps on the left center, and Burnside's Ninth corps on the extreme left.
Smith's Division of the 6th Corps. Richardson's Division....,, 2nd Corps. Sully's Brigade Sedgwick's Division, 2nd Corps.
