Seven Days Battles
Three Confederate brigades made the assault , but Longstreet ordered them forward in a piecemeal fashion , over several hours . Brig. Gen. James L. Kemper 's Virginians charged through the thick woods first and emerged in front of five batteries of McCall 's artillery . In their first combat experience , the brigade conducted a disorderly but enthusiastic assault , which carried them through the guns and broke through McCall 's main line with Jenkins 's support , followed up a few hours later by Brig. Gen. Cadmus M. Wilcox 's Alabamans . The Confederate brigades met stiff resistance in sometimes hand - to - hand combat .
