Deas' Brigade, Hindman's Division, Polk's Corps.

Dent's Alabama Battery.
6 Napoleons.
Deas' Brigade, Hindman's Division, Polk's Corps.
Sept. 20, 1863, noon
Capt. S. H. Dent, Commanding.
1st Lieut. W. T. Stockton.
2nd Lieut. D. L. Southwick
2nd Lieut. G. B. Zeigler.


From its position South East of Brotherton's, this battery soon after 11 A.M. moved with its brigade in the general advance of the left wing, firing a few shots over the heads of the Confederate infantry until the enemy and the pursuing infantry had disappeared from its front. The captain then hearing vigorous firing in a northwesterly direction, in the exercise of his discretion, moved his battery to this position from which he fired through the mouth of the gap near the Vittetoe house at passing wagon trains and artillery of the enemy there to be seen moving rapidly towards Chattanooga, throwing them into confusion, blocking the road, and so being largely instrumental in securing the capture of many wagons, cassons, etc.
