Johnson's Division

Johnson's Division of McCook's Corps, commanded by Brigadier General Richard W. Johnson, reached the Lafayette Road about noon on September 19th, 1863, after marching from the vicinity of Catlett's Gap by way of Crawfish Springs and Widow Glenn's House. Its 1st Brigade was led by Brigadier General August Willich, its 2d Brigade by Colonel Joseph B. Dodge, and its 3d Brigade by Colonel Philemon P. Baldwin. The division at once moved eastward to support Baird, then deployed its lines and changed direction to the right, with Baldwin on the left, Willich on the right, and Dodge in reserve. About 1 p.m., roughly 800 yards a little south of east from this point, it became heavily engaged with the left of Forrest's Cavalry and Jackson's and Smith's Brigades of Cheatham's Division.
