On September 19, 1863, about 9:30 A.M., Colonel Benjamin F. Scribner’s brigade of Baird’s Division, Thomas’ Corps, reached this position as the right of Baird’s division, struck Wilson’s Brigade of Walker’s Division in flank, and relieved pressure on the right of Croxton’s Brigade of Brannan’s division. About 11 A.M., Liddell’s Division attacked its right flank and forced it to the left and rear, with the loss of five guns, one of which was recaptured. The brigade then retired to the glade east of the McDonald house, where its division assembled.
