MCCLELLAN'S SECOND LINE
Here, at Seven Pines, was McClellan's second and main line of defense. The Confederates under D.H. Hill, having taken the first line, attacked this position, held by Casey and Couch reinforced by Kearny, May 31, 1862. The battle was bitterly contested until Longstreet sent in fresh troops. The Union line was broken; the Unionists fell back a mile and a half to the east.
