Connell’s Brigade acted as a support both to Croxton and Van Derveer. Croxton was the first driven back, but soon regained and held his ground. About 9 A.M Baird’s Division reached the right of Brannan, NS relieved the pressure at that point. Baird was, however, struck in flank by Liddell’s Division, and Baird’s .
