Lewis' Brigade

On Nov. 25th 1863, Lewis' Brigade of Breckinridge's Division, under Brig. Gen. Joseph H. Lewis, included the 2nd Kentucky under Lieut. Col. James W. Moss, the 4th Kentucky under Maj. Thomas W. Thompson, the 5th Kentucky under Col. H. Hawkins, the 6th Kentucky under Lieut. Col. W. L. Clarke, detached, the 9th Kentucky under Lieut. Col. John C. Wickliffe, and John H. Morgan's dismounted men. The brigade reached this position from near Bragg's Headquarters early that morning. The 9th Kentucky occupied an interval in the front line between Smith's Brigade and Govan's, facing north near the base of the hill east of this point, and actively helped check the Union advance with slight loss. The 6th Kentucky had been left to guard Chickamauga Station and remained there until the close of the battle. The other regiments occupied this position in rear of Smith's Texas Brigade and were shifted to support any threatened part of the line as needed, but were not actively engaged.
