As the battle weary confederates started to rout and the confederate line was about to break in two, the Texas Brigade was rushed forward to fill the crumbling line and succeeded in stopping the federal push but at their own demise, the first rushed forward only to be shot to pieces in their counterattack, losing 186 out of their 226 combatants, a casualty rate of 82.3 percent. This staggering casualty rate was the highest suffered by any regiment, North or South, on a single day, during the entire war.
