Woods' Brigade

Woods' Brigade of Osterhaus' Division, Blair's Corps, under Brigadier General Charles R. Woods, marched from Lookout Mountain for Rossville at 10:30 a.m. on November 25, 1863, as the head of Hooker's column. It was delayed about three hours at Chattanooga Creek by the burning of a bridge. About 4 p.m., assisted by Williamson's Brigade on its left, with the 27th Missouri as skirmishers, it forced its way through the Gap against a part of Clayton's Brigade with four guns, then turned north along the eastern base of the Ridge, finally charging obliquely to the summit, capturing many prisoners, and bivouacking here.
