Raum's Brigade

On Nov. 25, 1863, Raum's Brigade of John E. Smith's Division, Seventeenth Corps, was sent at noon to reinforce Gen. Ewing's Division. Soon after 1 P.M., it formed in two lines: the front line, with the 17th Iowa on the right and the 80th Ohio on the left, advanced about halfway up the slope of the hill to support Matthies' Brigade, which had reached the crest just south of this position, while the rear line, with the 56th Illinois on the right and the 10th Missouri on the left, remained at the base of the hill about 250 yards northwest. After a severe engagement, Matthies' Brigade and Raum's advance line were driven from their position by an enemy charge on their front and right flank, but Raum's reserve regiments held their ground and helped check the enemy's advance in that direction.
