Anderson's Brigade

Patton Anderson's brigade of Hindman's Division in Polk's Corps arrived on the battlefield toward sunset on September 19, 1863, too late to take part in the engagement. It formed on this ground as the division reserve, with Manigault's Brigade on the left of the front line and Deas' on the right, and bivouacked for the night under orders to take up and continue the attack on the right at daylight on September 20. At 7 A.M. on September 20, 1863, in its first position, the brigade included the 7th, 9th, 10th, 41st, and 44th Mississippi regiments, the 9th Mississippi Battalion Sharpshooters, and Garrity's Alabama Battery.
