er Junction General Lee was joined by Pickett's division of Longstreet's corps, and Breckenridge with two small brigades of infantry, and a battalion of artillery. These, with Hoke's brigade, were the first and only reinforcements received by General Lee since the opening of the campaign.

He therefore determined to try another flank movement, and to get more reinforcements from the army at Bermuda Hundreds
