Hospitals, Left Wing, Union Army.

Surgeon M.C. Tollman of the 2nd Minnesota Volunteers served as medical director of the 3rd Division, 14th Army Corps, and Surgeon Charles Schussler of the 6th Indiana Volunteers served as medical director of the 2nd Division, 20th Army Corps. The hospitals of the 3rd Division, 14th Corps, and the 2nd Division, 20th Corps were located in this vicinity, where a good spring, a church, and several houses afforded comfort for the wounded. Wounded from the various divisions engaged here, including a large number of Confederates, were gathered at this hospital. About 10:30 on the morning of September 20th, the hospital became untenable because of the enemy's proximity. Before its capture, as many of the wounded as possible were evacuated through Rossville Gap to Chattanooga by ambulance, wagon, or on foot. Sixty nontransportable cases remained in the hospital of the 3rd Division, 14th Corps, in charge of three medical officers with tentage and medical supplies. This corps lost in all by capture in the battle nineteen medical officers who remained with the wounded at the captured hospitals. The hospital of the 2nd Division, 20th Corps, lost by capture here thirty wounded nontransportable cases, together with four medical officers and the tents and supplies left with the wounded.
