The Brigade was formed on this ground at 3 a.m. September 20, in two lines, with two guns in the center of each line, and two on the left of the front line in the salient, all protected by logs. Scribner's Brigade was on its left, and Dodge's Brigade of Johnson's Division on its right. The latter was early sent to the left of General Baird's line. The engagement was severe on its front from about 10 till 1 o'clock. Upon every advance of the confederate line it suffered heavily from the enfilading fire of the two guns in the salient. The Brigade held its lines until the order to withdraw some time before sundown. At this moment it was heavily attacked and suffered much loss in crossing the Kelly field. After gaining the forest west of the Lafayette Road it proceeded with the Army to Rossville. Loss in the battle: killed, 65; wounded, 285; captured or missing, 256; total 606.
