On September 20, 1863, at 11:30 A.M., Anderson's Brigade of Hindman's Division in Polk's Corps, commanded by Brig. Gen. Patton Anderson, included the 7th Mississippi under Col. W. H. Bishop, 9th Mississippi under Maj. T.H. Lynam, 10th Mississippi under Lieut. Col. James Barr, 41st Mississippi under Col. W.F. Tucker, 44th Mississippi under Col. J.H. Sharp, the 9th Mississippi Battalion Sharpshooters under Maj. W.C. Richards, and Garrity's Alabama Battery under Capt. James Garrity. The brigade served as the reserve of its division, with Dea's brigade on the right and Manigault's brigade on the left of the front line. Nearing the widow Glenn's, after the left of Manigault's brigade was forced back, Anderson's Brigade took its place in the front line, drove and pursued Sheridan's division to the crest west of the Crawfish Springs road, and was then withdrawn, moved to the right, and sent to assist Gen. B. R. Johnson at Snodgrass Hill.
