Scribner's Brigade

Colonel Benjamin F. Scribner's Brigade of Baird's Division, Thomas' Corps, held its 3d position on September 19, 1863, at 4:30 p.m., with the 38th Indiana under Lieutenant Colonel Daniel F. Griffin, 2nd Ohio under Major William T. Beatty, 33rd Ohio under Colonel Oscar F. Moore, 94th Ohio under Major Rue P. Hutchins, 10th Wisconsin under Lieutenant Colonel John H. Ely, and Battery A, 1st Michigan under Lieutenant Almerick W. Wilbur. After arriving on this ground from the glade north of the Kelly field, the brigade recovered many of its wounded from the morning fight. At dusk, while advancing on the left of Starkweather's Brigade, which was then moving into action on the left of Johnson's Division, Scribner's Brigade made a slight wheel to the right in the gloom while Starkweather's made a similar movement to the left, and the two brigades fired into each other, greatly increasing the confusion of the night attack. After an engagement lasting more than an hour, both brigades fell back to the Kelly field.
