Hood's Division

— Longstreet's Corps —

Law's Brigade.
Hood's Division, - Longstreet's Corps.
Colonel James L. Sheffield.
September 20, 1863, 11:30 a.m.

This Brigade led its Division as the second line of Longstreet's Corps. It moved about 11:15 a.m. from a line about 800 yards east of the Lafayette road. Upon reaching the road it inclined to the right and followed by Benning's and Robertson's Brigades attacked the right of Brannan's Division forcing it to the rear. Upon entering the Dyer field south of the Blacksmith's shop it was attacked by Harker's Union Brigade and forced to the rear. McLaws' Division then replaced Hood's at the front line and the latter remained in the forest east of the Dyer field.
