Some sources from Doles' brigade that may shed some light on the subject:
-Official Report of Major W. H. Peebles, 44th Georgia: "After advancing to within half a mile of the town, we discovered the enemy on our right flank, and within a short distance of the right of this regiment, the Twenty-first Georgia Regiment being considerably behind, it having been on our right."
-History of the Doles-Cook Brigade, by Henry W. Thomas: p. 9, "The Yankees soon broke and fled in wild confusion, pursued by our shouting, exultant men. In doing so, we came upon a fresh force of the enemy who had lain down in the growing wheat through which we were advancing, who suddenly poured a volley into our line ..." p. 475 (44th Georgia) "We charged the first one [enemy line], and it fell back on the second; we charged it and it gave way. Over the ground were some lime-sinks, and many of the Federals threw down their arms and took shelter in them, and we charged over them. By this time we were in the edge of the city ... and we were in the act of entering Gettysburg, when suddenly a large body of the enemy were discovered advancing towards us on our right flank."
-Major James W. Beck, 44th Georgia, The Southern Record, Milledgeville, Georgia, September 15, 1863: "We hear the command 'charge,' and with a yell and a bound we rush to meet our foe and force him back until he reaches the rising ground near the town where he has the advantage of us in position, and a battery ready to deal death to everyone that comes before it. We do not halt, however, but re-echo the yell that now bursts from the forces on our left, where Gordon has reached the enemy ... Soon but few blue coats can be seen in front, except those that lie bleeding and mangled. We actually cleared the field. For the time, we think our day's work is ended; that we have but to pursue the fleeing foe. We are now pressing forward towards the town, the battery still playing on us. The cry, 'by the right flank,' is shouted. Looking on our right, just across the turnpike ... the old stars and stripes close to us."
