The Battery with its Brigade crossed the Chickamauga at Dalton's Ford about 8 o'clock a.m., and after several halts moved north rapidly in rear of the Brigade, and came into action on this ground about 12:30 p.m. under a heavy fire of musketry from the enemy. Several privates were wounded in coming into action. Opened fire on the enemy with spherical case and canister at short range with effect. The howitzer of the right section, after firing two rounds, was disabled by the cap-square breaking. After firing some twenty minutes, 1st Lieutenant John H. Marsh was severely wounded, and taken from the field. Under a heavy fire of musketry and artillery from the enemy the battery continued firing for about thirty minutes, when the Brigade was retired under orders about half a mile. Casualties: 2 privates killed, 3 severely wounded and 10 slightly wounded. Lost 14 horses and 1 set of artillery harness. The Battery was not engaged on the 20th.
