Fourth of the Seven Days’ Battles. On June 29, the main body of the Union
army began a general withdrawal toward the James
River. Magruder pursued along the railroad and the Williamsburg Road and
struck Sumner's Corps (the Union
rearguard) with three brigades near Savage's
Station. Confederate Brig. Gen. Richard Giffith was mortally wounded during
the fight. Jackson's divisions were stalled
north of the Chickahominy. Union forces continued to withdraw across White Oak
Swamp, abandoning supplies and more than 2,500 wounded soldiers in a field
hospital.
