In this modern photo, two cannon and a caisson mark the position of the Confederate battery at Tapp Farm. In the distance, the Union troops would come pouring out of the woods. (Author’s photograph)

Up by Widow Tapp’s, the retreating Confederates streamed past a bewildered Lee. A. P. Hill, his stamina fading, ordered Lt. Col. William Poague’s batteries to open fire, heedless that his own men were in the line of fire. Poague obeyed, 12 field pieces holding off an entire corps, at least for now. His gunners could not stop the Yankees creeping around the flanks. It was looking very bad for the Confederate position.
