Reynolds' Division

On September 19, 1863, in the afternoon, Turchin's and E. A. King's Brigades of Reynolds' Division, with Wilder's Brigade detached as mounted infantry, reached the Poe Field after marching from Pond Springs at 4 p.m. on September 18th and taking position about 1:30 p.m. on the 19th. Soon after 2 o'clock, Turchin moved to the front and relieved Hazen's Brigade on Palmer's line, supported on the right by Cruft's Brigade of Palmer's Division, and both brigades became heavily engaged. Troops of King's Brigade were sent in detachments to the right of Palmer's and Van Cleve's lines. About 4 p.m., Van Cleve's Division and King's Brigade of Reynolds' were driven back to this position by Stewart's troops and formed as support for fourteen guns on the high ground south of the Brotherton House facing southeast, with Hazen's Brigade formed to the left and rear of the guns. About 4:30 p.m., this line was forced to retire by a fierce attack in front and flank by troops of Stewart and Johnson and reformed in rear of Brannan's and Negley's Divisions as they arrived in the Dyer Fields. The enemy then retired the forces with which he had broken the Union center at the Brotherton House.
