griffin's v corps brigades and wainwright's artillery stabilized the union line by 1:00 p.m., about two and one-half hours after the battle started. warren and griffin then approached brigadier general joshua chamberlain, wounded only two days earlier at the battle of lewis's farm, with the question: "general chamberlain, will you save the honor of the fifth corps?" despite the pain from his wounds suffered at lewis's farm, chamberlain agreed to the assignment. at 2:30 p.m., chamberlain's men forded the cold, swollen gravelly run, followed by the rest of griffin's division and then the rest of warren's reorganized units.
