Battle of Garnett's Hill and Gouldin's Farm (June 27-June 28):
Continuing the action from Gaines' Mill, the brigades of Colonel George T. Anderson and Brigadier General Robert Toombs engaged in heavy fighting against Federal Brigadier General Winfield S. Hancock's men. The attacks were easily repulsed but served to further unnerve McClellan. Although Toombs resumed the attack the next morning and achieved more success, his men withdrew under intense Union artillery fire. |
