Crooked Creek- 7:30 a.m.

With the two lines well-established on opposite sides of the swampy Tar Bottom Run, neither side has been enthusiastic about launching an attack. The Confederates moved some batteries up to their right flank and rolled them towards the creek in order to fire canister into the enemy lines. The Federals had foreseen this and moved their infantry back and batteries forward.  Artillery fired canister through the swamp and each side lost a battery routed, but there were few losses among the infantry lines.
