South of the church, Union cavalry under Gen. George Crook, having crossed the Appomattox further upstream, were also repulsed. Gen. Fitz Lee’s cavalry had their last battlefield triumph, but it was little consolation for the Confederates who after the battle had to make another night march to stay ahead of their pursuers.
