Such was their steadiness that I was able to preserve my line of battle unbroken throughout the day. Captain F. J. Hawks and Lieutenant J. A. Bryan, of my staff, were with me, and conducted themselves gallantly. Your obedient servant, L. O'B. Branch, Brigadier-General. Extract from Major-General A. P. Hill's report. My order of march was Thomas, Branch, Archer, Pender, Stafford and Field. Arriving within about six miles of Culpeper Courthouse, the heavy firing in front gave notice that the battle had commenced. I was then directed by General Jackson to send a brigade to the support of Taliaferro, who was in line of battle on the right of the main road.
