Johnson's Brigade

Johnson's Brigade of Johnson's Division in Longstreet's Corps, under Colonel John S. Fulton, included the 17th Tennessee under Lieutenant Colonel Watt W. Floyd, the 23d Tennessee under Colonel R. H. Keeble, the 25th Tennessee under Lieutenant Colonel R. B. Snowden, the 44th Tennessee under Major G. M. Crawford, and York's Georgia Battery under Lieutenant William S. Everett. On September 20, 1863, the brigade, forming the center of its division, moved at 11:10 a.m. from the first crest east of the Brotherton House and reached this position under heavy artillery and infantry fire. Its advance from this line to the Dyer fields was resisted by front and flank fire from Heg's Brigade of Davis' Division, but it struck Heg's men in flank and drove them. After reaching the Dyer fields, it passed over the ridge on their west side and took part during the afternoon in the assaults on Snodgrass Hill.
