Military
On Sep. 19, 1863, at four o’clock, Clayton’s brigade of Stewart’s Division in Buckner’s Corps, commanded by Brig. Gen. Henry D. Clayton, with Bate’s brigade on its right and Brown’s in reserve, crossed the Lafayette road at Brotherton’s and attacked Dick’s and S Beatty’s brigades as they rallied on the ridge south of the house. After a half hour of fighting, these Union troops were forced back through the Dyer field and withdrew to the west of the Crawfish Springs Road, and Clayton followed to the Tan Yard.
