Twelfth Army Corps

Early on September 17, 1862, as it neared the East Woods, Goodrich's Brigade of Green's Division, commanded by Col. W.B. Goodrich of the 60th New York, was detached from its division and ordered to assist Doubleday's Division, which was engaged north of this point. The brigade was composed of the 3d Delaware Infantry, 60th New York Infantry, Purnell Legion, Maryland Infantry, and 78th New York Infantry. The Purnell Legion was detached near D.R. Miller's and did not take part with its brigade in the action near this point, but was engaged with its division west of the Dunkard Church. After the brigade was repulsed near this point, the 78th New York was detached.
