Barnes' Brigade

— Van Cleve's Division —

3rd Battery, Wisconsin Light Artillery

4 10 - Pounder Parrotts, 2 12 - Pounders Howitzers.

Barnes' Brigade, Van Cleve's Division, Crittenden's Corps.

September 19, 1863.

1st Lieutenant Cortland Livingston, Commanding.

1st Lieutenant Hiram F. Hubbard.

2nd Lieutenant Henry Currier.



About 1:30 p.m. the battery with Barnes' Brigade moved from the line near Lee and Gordon's Mill to this position. By order of Major Mendenhall the battery came into position on the right of the 2nd Minnesota Battery, southeast of the Viniard house. The battery fired until a battery on the left was captured by the Confederates, when it limbered up and returned to this position, opened fire on the woods filled with the enemy, checking his advance. The brigade having been driven back rallied and took position on each flank of the battery. From this position the battery opened a very effective enfilade fire on the enemy in the Viniard cornfield. This position was retained with slight changes until 2 a.m. of the 20th.
