Hazen's Brigade

On Sept. 20, 1863, in its 1st Position, Hazen's Brigade of Palmer's Division, Crittenden's Corps, under Brig. Gen. William B. Hazen, included the 9th Indiana under Colonel Isaac C.B. Suman, the 6th Kentucky under Major Richard T. Whitaker, the 41st Ohio under Colonel Aquila Wiley, the 124th Ohio under Major James B. Hampson, and the 1st Ohio Light Artillery, Battery F, under Lieutenant Giles J. Cockerill. Before daylight on September 20, the brigade constructed log works on this line, forming with the 23rd Kentucky of Grose's Brigade the right of Palmer's Division, while the battery was formed on its left. The log works were so well constructed that only thirteen enlisted men were wounded behind them during the early Confederate assault. These attacks were severe until noon. About 3 o'clock the brigade was withdrawn from this line and sent to Snodgrass Hill to assist General Thomas.
