On September 19, 1863, at 4 p.m., Sheridan's Division of McCook's Corps, commanded by Major General Philip H. Sheridan, marched from Pond Spring that morning for Crawfish Springs. About 2 p.m. it was ordered to Lee and Gordon's Mill to replace Wood's Division, and upon arriving there it was ordered to proceed at once to Viniard's, leaving Lytle's Brigade to hold the position at Lee and Gordon's Mill. Soon after 4 o'clock, upon reaching Viniard's, Bradley's Brigade was immediately thrown into action against the enemy that had repulsed Davis. With the assistance of Wilder's Brigade and several batteries collected near Viniard's, the enemy, consisting of Trigg's Brigade of Preston's Division and Benning's and Robertson's brigades of Hood's Division, was driven back into the forest at sundown.
