Baldwin's Brigade

On September 19, 1863, at 1 p.m., Baldwin's Brigade of Johnson's Division in McCook's Corps, under Colonel William W. Berry, held its first position after advancing with its division from Kelly Field at noon and reaching this ground about 1 o'clock p.m. With Willich's Brigade on its right and Dodge's in reserve, it first became engaged here, striking the left of Forrest's dismounted cavalry and forcing it to retire upon Cheatham's line. After severe fighting with the right of Cheatham's Division and troops of Forrest, it moved forward, reached the field where Scribner's Brigade of Baird's Division had first become engaged, and occupied that position.
