Just as the Battle of Gaines' Mill is reaching its climax north of the Chickahominy, another smaller battle takes place south of the river, at Garnett's and Golding's Farms. Here, Confederate forces from Robert Toombs' Brigade of David R. Jones' Division launch a probing attack against the Union lines of Winfield Scott Hancock's 1st Brigade in Baldy Smith's Second Division, VI Corps. On orders from Major General John B. Magruder, Toombs' Brigade is to "feel the enemy" around Golding's Farm, but they are repulsed around sunset by Hancock's entrenched Federals. The next day, Saturday the 28th, sees Toombs' men try again to take the Union works. The little skirmish at Garnett's and Golding's Farm will prove to be the only notable action to occur on June 28th, 1862, as both Lee and McClellan begin resting and maneuvering their armies for much larger battles in the days to follow.
