Seven Days' Battles--Gaines's Mill

Half a mile south is Boatswain Creek. The battle that was begun at Gaines's Mill by A. P. Hill, following Porter's rear guard, culminated at the Union position on Boatswain Creek. There A. P. Hill and Longstreet, moving eastward, and Jackson coming from the north converged to attack Unionists.
