On September 19th, 1863, from about 3:00 P.M. to 4:30 P.M., the 105th Ohio Infantry, in Colonel Edward A. King's Brigade, Reynolds' Division, 14th Army Corps, under the command of Major George I. Perkins, fought about 600 yards east of the Brotherton House. Success by the enemy on that part of the line compelled the regiment to retire, after which it was rallied and re-formed in this position. It also held this position on the 20th until about 1:00 P.M., when the retirement of Brannan's Division to Snodgrass Hill made it necessary to take a more refused position facing south. Its losses were 3 killed, 41 wounded, and 26 captured or missing, for a total of 70.
