Walker's Corps

— Brigadier General States Rights Gist —

Walker's Division, Walker's Corps.
Brigadier General States Rights Gist.
September 20, 1863, Noon
Gist's Brigade, - Colonel Peyton H. Colquitt.
Gist's Brigade, - Lieutenant Colonel Leroy Napier.
Ector's Brigade, - Brigadier General Matthew D. Ector.
Wilson's Brigade, - Colonel Claudius C. Wilson.


After the repulse of Breckinridge's Division at 11 a.m. the divisions of Walker and Liddell were brought forward and Walker's division attacked at noon with Gist's Brigade in advance supported by Ector's and Wilson's Brigades slightly to the right of the ground where Helm's Brigade of Breckinridge's Division had previously failed. Gist's Brigade struck the Union log works at such an angle as to receive both a direct and enfilading fire and at the end of thirty minutes had lost nearly one-third of its numbers and had been repulsed. Colonel Colquitt was killed and all but two of the field officers of the brigade were either killed or wounded and its withdrawal was covered by Ector's and Wilson's Brigades. Shortly before sunset the division in support of Liddell's Division advanced to the LaFayette Road meeting with little resistance as the Union forces were withdrawing and bivouacked for the night.
