On May 20, Grant attempted to get between Lee and Richmond again, and again Anderson and Ewell led their corps south to stop him. The Third Corps, with Hill back in charge, did not leave Spotsylvania until 9:00 pm on May 21 and reached the Confederate position near Hanover Junction on the North Anna River on the night of May 23. Mahone's Brigade was stationed on the western edge of Lee's "Hog Snout" line. Throughout May 24, the regiment repulsed IX Corps attacks on their trenches, during which Captain Brinkley of Company I was killed. They remained in the trenches until the morning of May 27, when Grant again attempted a flank maneuver.
