The Brigade went into action on this ground, being the left of Palmer's Division, with Cruft's Brigade on its right. The line advanced in echelon of brigades, Hazen's leading.
It encountered troops of Cheatham's Division and fought its way steadily forward to the middle of the Brock field. There it was relieved about 4 o'clock by Turchin's Brigade and withdrew to the vicinity of the Poe House for ammunition. From the latter point a portion of the Brigade was sent to the assistance of Van Cleve's Brigade near the Brotherton house, and the remaining portion was rallied to the support of the guns formed by General Reynolds diagonally across the LaFayette Road at the north line of the Poe field.
It also took part in restoring the line at the right of General Reynolds' Division which had been forced back by the left of Bate's Brigade of Stewart's
Division.
