Buschbeck's Brigade

Buschbeck's Brigade of Steinwehr's Division in Howard's Corps, under Col. Adolphus Buschbeck on Nov. 25, 1863, included the 33d New Jersey, 134th New York, 154th New York, 27th Pennsylvania, and elements of the 73d Pennsylvania under their listed officers. The two New York regiments marched with the 11th Corps to Boyce's Station and were not actively engaged. The 33rd New Jersey supported Loomis' Brigade. The 27th Pennsylvania and one company of the 73d, after assisting in taking the Glass House near the foot of the ridge about 1 P.M., charged to the summit of Tunnel Hill and by close and well directed fire silenced the enemy's artillery in their front. They were soon joined by Matthies Brigade, which formed on the right and left, and after being under fire two hours, they were flanked on the right and fell back to the position occupied the night before. The loss of the 27th Pennsylvania was 12 killed, 64 wounded, and 13 missing.
