Wilson's Junction - 11:07

Here are screenshots from a gamesav at Wilson's Junction at 11:07. By this time:

1. Mallory's Division had fallen back and was retiring north on Freight Road, but had not yet deployed in its final rearguard formation.

2. Steward's Brigade was deployed facing south on the south side of Sylamore Road at the junction, trying to hold back Bowden's advancing 1st and 3rd Brigades.

3. Sourwait was deployed facing west and was engaged against Wales, elements of Bowden and the lead brigades of McCall's Division. Sourwait's right was already starting to give way. Gowan, who had been behind lines somehow ended up near the front of Wales' Division.

4. It looks like Curtis was already dead on the knoll to the north on the left of Wales' Division.

5.McCall's 1st and 2nd Brigades were starting to arrive at the junction, some can be seen coming up from the rear at the double quick.

6. Swain's Division had pushed most of O'Neal's Brigade from the knoll, the rest retreated with Dietrich and are to the rear or on the road. Faulkner's Brigade has already formed in a rear guard action near the edge of Buzzard Roost, engaged with Swain and elements of Wales' left. Mallory would form the final rear guard behind Faulkner's line. Swain and Bowden were still advancing at the end, but Mallory was able to pull out without having to engage from his final position.
