Major General J.E.B. Stuart, commanding the Confederate Second Corp: “As the sun lifted the mist that shrouded the field, it was discovered that the ridge on the extreme right was a fine position for concentrating artillery. I immediately ordered thirty pieces to that point.... The effect of this fire upon the enemy’s batteries was superb.” -- Stuart’s battle report, in War of the Rebellion: Official Records of the Union and Confederate Armies, series I, volume 25, part 1, pages 887-888
Brigadier General Alpheaus S. Williams, commanding the Federal First Division: “[T]he enemy placed several batteries in position on this open hill (some of them reported to have been guns captured from our troops), and opened a most vigorous fire upon our batteries at Fairview and our lines of infantry both right and left of this position.” -- Williams’ battle report, in War of the Rebellion: Official Records of the Union and Confederate Armies, series I, volume 25, part 1, page 680
