58th Indiana Infantry

The 58th Regiment Indiana Infantry, commanded by Lieutenant Colonel James T. Embree and assigned to First Brigade under Buell, First Division under Wood, and Twenty-First Corps under Crittenden, formed line of battle about 2:40 p.m. on September 19th, charged the enemy, drove him from Viniard House across and east of LaFayette Road, and reformed on line with this position, where a severe engagement followed with very heavy loss during the afternoon. On the morning of September 20th, the regiment went into position at Brotherton Farm and was soon hotly engaged. At 11 a.m. it moved with its brigade to the left and became involved in the break at the center. A considerable portion of the regiment rallied on Snodgrass Hill and remained there until the close of the battle. Its losses in the battle were 16 killed and 155 wounded and missing.
