This Brigade held the left of General Baird's Division on this ground throughout the second day's battle, until the withdrawal near sundown. The formation was in four lines, there being a breastwork of logs two feet high along the front. Between 7 and 8 a.m. the 1st Battalion, 18th Infantry, was sent across the glade to the crest on the east side, taking the logs in its front with it. There it remained until forced back by the advance of Helm's Brigade of Breckinridge's Division. It then rejoined the main line. Dodge's Brigade of Johnson's Division was on the left of King, and Scribner's Brigade of Baird's Division on its right. King was heavily engaged from 10 a.m. till about 1 o'clock, and again shortly before sundown, when it withdrew while under heavy attack from which it suffered severe loss, but was reorganized west of the Kelly field and proceeded to Rossville. The Battery of the Brigade, H 5th U.S., was sent about noon to Rossville, and was not engaged. Strength in action 1513.
Loss, killed 61; wounded 255; captured or missing 523; total 839. Percentage of loss 55.45.
