Liddell's Division

Liddell's Division of Walker's Corps, commanded by Brigadier General St. John R. Liddell, with Liddell's Brigade under Colonel Daniel C. Govan and Walthall's Brigade under Brigadier General Edward C. Walthall, moved forward to this position shortly after sunset on September 19, 1863, from the line it had occupied after its repulse at noon. After entering the field west of the road, it was first subjected to front and enfilading fire, and soon afterward, when it had advanced 120 to 130 yards west of the road with its skirmishers 300 yards in front, the line of Turchin's Brigade of Reynolds' division swept out of the woods to the south and charged along the front of Liddell's Division, capturing part of its skirmishers and a field officer and forcing the line to withdraw a considerable distance east of the road. After Reynolds' troops had passed, Liddell's Division returned and bivouacked north of this position. Turchin's column was the advance of the Union withdrawal. During the battle, its total force in action was 3175, with 162 killed, 963 wounded, 277 missing, for a total loss of 1402, or 44.16 percent.
