The 9th Regiment Indiana Infantry, commanded by Colonel Isaac C. B. Suman and serving in the Second Brigade under Hazen, Second Division under Palmer, and Twenty First Corps under Crittenden, entered action on September 19th near Brock Field about 2 p.m. and lost heavily; near 3:30 p.m. it retired and refilled boxes in the vicinity of the Poe House, then moved to this point, confronted an advancing enemy column in overwhelming numbers, compelled it to pause, engaged it for 30 minutes, and again lost heavily, including 3 officers killed. On September 20th, at daylight, it was in line at the southeast corner of Kelly Field and held its line until 3:30 p.m.; at Snodgrass Field it assisted in repulsing Longstreet's last assault. Near dusk it was sent to the right of Brannan's Division, and after three regiments on the right and some of its own men were captured, it fired upon the capturing force and held its position until 8 p.m., when it withdrew.
