Shaara describes Confederate troops coming out of the woods and advancing toward Chamberlain's position. Unknown to the attackers, however, the entire II Corps waits in ambush behind a railroad cut near the station. Federal musket volleys from Chamberlain's front position and from II Corps right flank position mow down the attackers. Hill's attack at Bristol Station fails.
