Turn 27:
Retreat!!!!!
Turn 28:
It is 11.00PM and darkness has been upon us for a couple of hours. Most of 1st Corps has managed to escape during the early hours off darkness. It looks as though the rebels have halted their advance. But make no mistake, the rebels are still out, and it will be a busy night for the commanders of 1st Corps as they will have to reorganize and have their men ready for tomorrows fight.
South of Emmitsburg Birney’s division is skirmishing with advancing rebel infantry. So far he is clearly outnumbered and is suffering most of the casualties. Davis’s men have moved west along the bank of Tom’s Creek and are now harassing Perrin’s men west of town. The lead column of 12th Corps will start to cross Tom’s Creek on the next turn.
