4:35
Hanscom was to move in the night so as to join Broomfield , and they were to attack at 4 A. M. of the 12th . They moved into line not more than two-thirds of a mile from the enemy . The ground was heavily wooded and ascended sharply towards the enemy . In the morning a heavy fog lay close to the ground , but at 4:35 the order to move forward was given . Burns and Barrow moved in advance . The soldiers seemed to be urged forward by some kind of inspiration , and finally broke into a double-quick , and with irresistible force over the earthworks of the enemy they went . Both divisions entered about the same time , and a most desperate battle here ensued .
