Dunn in the Second Brigade under Dodge, Second Division under Johnson, and Twentieth Corps under McCook, reached a position near Brock Field at about 1 p.m. on Saturday, September 19, 1863, charged the enemy, drove him back across the north end of the field into the timber near the Winfrey Farm, and remained there until nightfall, where it took part in resisting the night attack of Cheatham's and Cleburne's Divisions. On September 20 at 10 a.m., the regiment marched to the northeast corner of the Kelly Field, became heavily engaged, and held the line against all assaults until 6 p.m. Its losses were 11 killed, 93 wounded, and 68 captured.
