Manigault's brigade, followed by Sharp's, were north of the R.R.; Coltart's & Benton's S. of it. Manigault's brigade halted in a ravine to reform its line while Coltart's brigade, S. of the R.R. came up abreast. Resuming the charge, Manigault's men ascended the slope to & beyond the Pope house, penetrating the Federal line at the railroad cut & seizing the Illinois batteries. A remnant of the ravine is still visible in Springvale Park. 060-91 GEORGIA HISTORICAL COMMISSION 1956" - External Identifiers:
