On September 19, 1863, Huwald's Tennessee Battery, part of Davidson's Brigade in Pegram's Division of Forrest's Corps, was equipped with two mountain howitzers and two 2¼ inch rifles and was commanded by Captain Gustave A. Huwald, with 1st Lieutenant D. Breck Ramsey and 2d Lieutenant William D. Martin. One section came into position on this ground about 7 a.m. and opened fire on the rear of General Dan McCook's Brigade, then retired under orders toward Rossville. Soon after, the battery was engaged against the advance of Croxton's Brigade until infantry advanced on the left and drove the enemy back. Casualties were not given.
