On September 20, 1863, in the morning, Colonel Edward A. King's Brigade of Reynolds' Division in Thomas' Corps, including the 68th Indiana under Captain Edmund Finn, the 75th Indiana under Colonel Milton S. Robinson, the 101st Indiana under Lieutenant Colonel Thomas Doan, the 105th Ohio under Major George T. Perkins, and the 19th Battery of Indiana Light Artillery under Lieutenant Robert S. Lackey, first formed west of the Lafayette Road facing it, in echelon to the right and rear of Turchin's Brigade and connecting with the left of Brannan's Division. After 10 A.M., Stewart's troops made a heavy attack that was repulsed after severe fighting. When Brannan retreated, King's Brigade moved across the road until its left joined Turchin's right, which had been refused, and the line then faced the Poe house, where it remained without serious engagement during the early afternoon.
