A battery of Miller's artillery had been positioned near the Sunken Road at about 10:30 a.m. to support the infantry in the lane. Later, one of the battery's caissons was hit by a Union artillery shell, and Confederate artillerymen were killed or injured, leaving the gun crews short during a critical juncture in the battle for the Rebels. Among the soldiers to come to the rescue was General James Longstreet himself, wearing carpet slippers instead of boots because of a sore heel. He held the bridles of horses of some of his staff, who went into action as artillerymen in Piper's apple orchard. <br><b><i>(Click on image to enlarge and click <a href="http://johnbankscivilwar180.blogspot.com/">here</a> for all posts on this blog.)</i></b>
