Jackson's Brigade

—Cheatham's Division —

Scogin's Georgia Battery
2 6 Pounders, 2 12 Pounder Howitzers.
Jackson's Brigade, Cheatham's Division, Polk's Corps.
September 19, 1863.

Captain John Scogin, Commanding.
1st Lieutenant William E. Lyons.
2d Lieutenant George M. Rockwell (wounded).


The Battery with its Brigade and Division crossed the Chickamauga early in the morning at Dalton's Ford and after coming into position once or twice without being engaged, moved rapidly north to the Alexander's Bridge Road and then west, coming into position on this ground soon after noon in center of Brigade. It was actively engaged till the Brigade was ordered to retire, when on account of a heavy cross-fire and the loss of horses, 1 piece and 1 caisson were abandoned, but were subsequently recovered.

The Battery again took position late in the evening on the hill-top east of this position and had a sharp engagement lasting one and a half hours.

Bivouacked for the night.
