Dave, do I understand you as concluding that Wright was stopped short of the
wall?

>> You are wrong, however, about his engagement July 2nd. His principle
engagement was not Wright, as you correctly suggest, but rather the Bliss
and McMillan properties.

The Georgians described being under shell fire from the moment they came
into the open field. Who do you suppose it to be if not Cushing and Arnold?
They had a clear field of fire.

>> No canister was fired from his tubes that day but rather 300-odd rounds
of bolt, case and shell. 300 rounds seems a bit until when one considers his
engagement totaled 10 hours which amounts to roughly 50-rounds per tube,

I get the impression from Hazard and others that artillery fire in that
sector was at best intermittent until about 4:00 pm, not that they were
continually engaged. I can't imagine Hunt allowing them to fire throughout
the day without certain and proper targets.
