Major Alfred R. Courtney's Artillery Battalion.
Hindman's (Anderson's) Division, Hardee's Corps.
Lieut. William P. Hamilton, Commanding,
Lieut. C. W. Watkins,
Lieut. George D. Turner.
Nov. 25th 1863, 4 P.M.


The battery held this position during the Union assault of the ridge, and opened with all possible rapidity and continued to fire till the enemy had gained the ridge on the left, and proceeded to roll the thin Confederate line toward the north. Seeing it impossible to check the advance of the victorious column on the ridge, and not being able to depress the guns to inflict serious loss on the rapidly approaching lines in front, the battery, after rolling one gun down the ridge, withdrew the remaining three guns over the ridge in rear, but these were intercepted by the rapid advance of the enemy on the left, and captured on the slope of the ravine east.
Losses 4 guns, some men, caissons, and horses.
