Trenty-second Virginia Repels Assault at Salient Angle
The Twenty second Virginia regiment under Colonel Kigare’s fire steadied the line as the enemy pressed the salient angle. Finnegan and the Maryland line aided, forcing a retreat in disorder with many casualties and prisoners left behind. If the works at the angle had been fully manned, the foe would not have gained a temporary advantage.
