Seven Days ' Battles Savage's Station
Here, facing west, stretched the Union line in the afternoon of June 29, 1862. Brook's brigade was south of the road with Gorman's and Burns's brigades to the north. In a furious conflict Burns's line was broken but was restored by Sumner in person. Darkness ended the conflict. The Unionists withdrew southward.
