Gregg's Brigade

On September 19, 1863, at 3 p.m., Gregg's Brigade of Johnson's Division in Longstreet's (Hood's) Corps, under Brigadier General John Gregg and later Colonel Cyrus A. Sugg, fought Heg's Brigade for more than an hour until its left reached this ground. The two right regiments, the 3rd and 41st Tennessee, maintained their connection with Johnson's Brigade, swung to the right, and became separated from their own brigade. General Gregg rode forward to the LaFayette road and was wounded at the edge of the woods near the road, after which Colonel Sugg took command. The general engagement on that part of the field continued fiercely until Union reinforcements arrived, and at sunset the Confederate forces withdrew into the forest about 600 yards east of Viniard's.
