It was then forced to retire across the Rossville Road, where it reformed on the ridge on the west side of the road; after a brief contest there, it was again forced to retire and reformed on the ridge near the Crawfish Springs Road. On September 20th, it was in reserve and was broken about 12:00 M. by the retirement of the troops in its front. It was not rallied again as a regiment until evening, though it partially rallied in squads which, with fragments of other regiments, remained fighting until dark. Its losses were 7 killed, 60 wounded, and 23 captured or missing, for a total of 90.
