Massenburg's Georgia Battery.
2 - 12 pdr. Napoleons; 2 - 10 pdr. Parrotts.
Maj. Felix H. Robertson's Reserve Artillery.
Nov. 25, 1863, 4 p.m.

Capt. Thomas L. Massenburg, Commanding.
1st Lieut. J. F. Greer.
2d Lieut. George B. Forester.
2d Lieut. R. G. Burgess.

During the union attack on the ridge the battery occupied this position in the line of Finley's Brigade of Breckinridge's Division; kept up a continual and effective fire, aiding in holding the enemy in check in their front till the ridge was carried just north of the Bird's Mill Road, when the battery was ordered in that direction at a gallop to sustain Reynolds' Brigade in its efforts to restore the line that had been broken. Reynolds failed to restore the break in the line and abandoned the effort before the battery could get into position. In endeavoring to get away several horses were shot and the guns abandoned in the ravine northeast of this position.
Casualties: 4 guns and a few men and horses.
