(September 17, 1862.)
Tyndale's Brigade, on the right of the Division, reached this point about 8 A. M., relieved a portion of Crawford's Brigade, and engaged the Confederate Infantry in the East Woods.
After a short and sharp contest, the enemy gave way and the Brigade, obliquing to the left, crossed the Smoketown Road, entered the fields to the right of Mumma's burning buildings, and took position behind the ridge opposite the Dunkard Church.
