Second Army Corps

On September 17, 1862, the U.S.A. Second Army Corps' Kimball's Brigade of French's Division, commanded by Brig. Gen. Nathan Kimball and composed of the 14th Indiana Infantry, 8th Ohio Infantry, 132d Pennsylvania Infantry, and 7th West Virginia Infantry, followed Weber and Morris and encountered the enemy in the Bloody Lane and in the Cornfield to the south. The fighting there was of the most desperate character and continued until after noon, when, supported on the left by Richardson's Division, the brigade attacked the enemy and gained the Bloody Lane. An attack on the right flank was met and repulsed by a change of front by the Ohio and Indiana regiments, which formed the right wing of the brigade in its final assault on the enemy's position.
