This Brigade advanced from its bivouac near Alexander's Bridge soon after daylight, and struck Croxton's Brigade of Brannan's Division at Jay's Saw Mill at 7:30 a.m. While engaged with Croxton and awaiting the arrival of Infantry support the Brigade lost nearly one fourth of its numbers. Soon after 8 o'clock the right was attacked by Van Derveer's Brigade of Brannan's Division advancing from the Ringgold Road to the assistance of Croxton. Between 8 and 9 o'clock Wilson's Infantry Brigade of Walker's Division arrived on its left, and an hour later Ector's Brigade of the same Division went in on Wilson's right. Davidson's Brigade and its supports, after five hours fighting and twice repulsing the enemy were forced back to the vicinity of the Saw Mill where the brigade remained during the
afternoon.
