It was essentially a sidelight to the battle; having no measurable affect one way or the other. And it wasn’t coordinated within Longstreet’s attack. It was a separate engagement although it was meant to distract Union forces during the attack on Cemetery Ridge.

It’s mentioned both by Foote and McPherson in their volumes on the war.
