On Sept. 20, 1863, at noon, Col. William Sirwell's brigade of Negley's Division in Thomas Corps took position east of the Snodgrass house about 11 A.M. The 21st Ohio, sent to General Brannan about noon at his request, was heavily engaged there until 3 o'clock, while the rest of the brigade soon after noon was ordered by General Negley to retire toward McFarland Gap. After the 21st was relieved on this line by the 2nd Minnesota and the 35th Ohio and obtained ammunition, it moved up to the right and fought on the right of Brannan's line until it was captured about dark.
