Brief Breach at Fredericksburg
After crossing the bridge, the 2nd Division turned left and marched about three-quarters of a mile down along the river
through open country cut by ditches. The division hatted near Mansfield (also known as Bernard House), where Franklin made his headquarters, and then
moved to the right toward the Old Richmond Road. As the division moved forward, the 13th Massachusetts deployed as skirmishers and slowly
advanced. Confederate skirmishers quietly melted back without firing a shot to the cornfield beyond the road and did not contest
the regiment's advance.
The division halted about 200 yards from the road, and the brigades of the 2nd Division formed an oblique line of battle,
with the left thrown forward and the right resting on VI Corps' left flank. Major General George Gordon Meade's division of
Pennsylvania Reserves formed on Gibbon's left, and Maj. Gen. Abner Doubleday's division rested on Meade's left and curved
toward the Rappahannock, facing south. In this position
Gibbon's men spent the night.
