E. King's Brigade

On September 20, 1863, in the afternoon, King's Brigade of Reynolds' Division in Thomas' Corps, including the 68th Indiana, 75th Indiana, 101st Indiana, 105th Ohio, and Indiana Light Artillery 19th Battery, was moved after two brigades of Brannan's Division retreated from the vicinity of the Poe House following the break at the Union center. General Reynolds shifted the brigade to the left across the Lafayette Road and formed it in front of Kelly Field facing south, where it was not seriously engaged during the afternoon. About 5 p.m., Colonel Edward A. King was killed and Colonel Milton S. Robinson took command. At 5:30 the brigade withdrew with the division, passing north on the Lafayette Road to the fields south of McDonald's, where at sunset it joined Turchin's Brigade in a charge northward against the flank of Liddell's Division and forced it east of the Lafayette Road. It then proceeded to Rossville, and near Mullis Hill the 68th and 101st Indiana were detached to cover Brannan's withdrawal from Snodgrass Ridge.
