Southern Historical Society Papers, Volume 8. (ed. Reverend J. William Jones), Battle of Gettysburg-report of General G. Doles. (search)
d the pursuit of the enemy toward the town. We met the force on our right, attacked and routed him, pursuing him across the plain in front of Gettysburg; but few of this force escaped us. We then moved towards the Theological College, to the right of Gettysburg, where the brigades of Generals Daniel, Ramseur, Iverson and Colonel O'Neal were engaged with the enemy. As we advanced towards the enemy — our position at that time being on his right flank — the enemy withdrew his forces from the College hill to the railroad. We then moved rapidly by the left flank to cut him off from the town. We did not succeed, as he retired faster than we advanced. We followed as far as the outer edge of town, when I received an order to halt the column, and to form line of battle in the street running east and west through the town. We remained in line here until about 8 o'clock P. M., July 2d, when we moved by right flank, forming line and advancing towards the enemy's position on Cemetery hill.
