On September 20, 1863, Kershaw's Brigade of McLaws' Division in Longstreet's Corps, commanded by Brigadier General Joseph Brevard Kershaw and composed of the 2d, 3d, 7th, 8th, and 15th South Carolina regiments and the 3d South Carolina Battalion, held the first position. On the right, with Humphrey's Brigade on its left, it formed the third division line of Longstreet's central column of attack. It moved forward at 11:15 in support of Hood's Division in its attack on the Union line west of the Poe House, crossed the LaFayette Road near that house, pushed forward to the Dyer Field, then wheeled to the right and passed to the front of Hood's line.
