Night of May 4th

Confederate Infantry is camped at the Midway Crossroads, their fires visible to Federal Cavalry who are camped to the west on Meeting Hill. Col. Herling's Brigade held a line at the Lee Farm from 10:00 a.m. to after 4:00 p.m., repelling all attacks by Brig. Gen. Randall's cavalry in heavy skirmishing. Herling only retired when infantry arrived up the Arkadelphia Road.
