Turchin's Brigade

On November 25, 1863, at 5 P.M., Turchin's Brigade of Baird's Division in Palmer's Corps, commanded by Brig. Gen. John B. Turchin, included the 82 Indiana under Col. Morton C. Hunter, the 11th Ohio under Lieut. Col. Ogden Street, the 17th Ohio under Maj. Benjamin F. Butterfield, the 17th Ohio under Capt. Benjamin H. Showers, the 31st Ohio under Lieut. Col. F.W. Lister, the 36th Ohio under Lieut. Col. Hiram F. Devol, the 89th Ohio under Capt. John H. Jolly, and the 92nd Ohio under Lieut. Col. Douglas Putnam, Jr., and Capt. Edward Grosvenor. The brigade was sent to Sherman at the tunnel in the forenoon of the 25th and returned to the center about 2 p.m. It formed the right of the division, with S. Beatty's brigade of Wood's on its right and Van Derveer's on its left. One of its flags was the first of the division to reach the crest. After reaching the crest, it moved northwardly to assist the other brigades of the division as they climbed the ridge in front of the brigades of Vaughn, Jackson, and Moore. After a short and stubborn contest, the ridge was carried to the elevated point about 1,060 yards north of this. Its casualties were 50 killed, 231 wounded, and 3 missing.
