Col. George Flournoy’s regiment of the 16th Texas Infantry served in a reserve capacity, and did not enter the fighting until the rest of the brigade had already sustained significant casualties. Part of the regiment secured some farm buildings and captured nearly 100 men from the 11th Louisiana who were out on picket duty. The remainder of Flournoy’s regiment moved against the Union works. By the time his men attacked the remaining Federal position at the far end of the Union line, the momentum of the Confederate advance had petered out. Both of these factors probably explain the low number of casualties in this regiment.
