On September 20, 1863, at 2 p.m., Anderson's Brigade of Hindman's Division in Polk's Corps, under Brigadier General Patton Anderson, took its third position after the successful attack upon Sheridan's troops, moving to the foot of Snodgrass Hill and forming on the right of Bushrod Johnson's Division, filling the interval between that command and Kershaw farther to the right. The brigade then took part in several severe assaults upon the ridge but failed to establish itself on the crest. It entered action with 1865 officers and men, and its casualties were 80 killed, 454 wounded, and 24 missing, for a total of 558, a loss of 29.91 percent.
