I will add that none of the accounts from the Fourteenth Connecticut
Infantry
of Smyth's brigade even hint at an assault on their position along Cemetery
Ridge on the 2nd, let along being overrun. And I have read a good many 14
CVI
accounts, including those written for publication and some for private
consumption only.

Which is why it's not correct to say there are only two Union accounts from
the sector between Arnold's battery and the Zeigler's Grove. There are
numerous reports and accounts, from Smyth's brigade, not one of which even
hints at a Confederate breakthrough or or the batteries being overrun.
