I don't have all my sources at hand to try to check on the position of individual regiments, but Edward Johnson's division of Ewell's Corps held the tip of the Mule Shoe that was attacked on May 12. J. M. Jones's brigade was at the apex, with G. H. Steaurt on his right (eastern side of the angle). On Jones' left (western side) was Hays' consolidated Louisiana brigade (commanded by William Monaghan). Hays' 1st Louisiana Brigade (5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th regiments) was next to Jones and L.A. Stafford's 2nd Brigade (1st, 2nd, 10th, 14th, and 15th regiments) was on Hays' left. J. Walker's brigade was on the left of Stafford's brigade. On May 10, Emory Upton led a Union attack that temporarily broke through the line held by G. Dole's brigade on the immediate left of Walker. The next day, Ewell ordered his most dependable brigade be put there to replace Dole, and Hays' brigade was split up. The 1st Louisiana Brigade was put on Walker's left where Dole had been, and the 2nd Louisiana Brigade was left in place near the angle's apex next to Jones. When the Union attack was made on May 12, most of the men in the 2nd Louisiana Brigade were captured.
