Adam's Brigade

At 10 a.m. on September 20, 1863, Adam's Brigade of Breckinridge's Division, Hill's Corps, under Brigadier General Daniel W. Adams, included the 32nd Alabama under Major John C. Kimbell; the 13th and 20th Louisiana under Colonel Randall Lee Gibson; the 16th and 25th Louisiana under Colonel Daniel Gober; the 19th Louisiana under Lieutenant Colonel Richard W. Turner and Major Loudon Butler; the 14th Louisiana Battalion under Major J. H. Austin; and Slocomb's Louisiana Battery under Captain C. H. Slocomb. After routing the troops in its front, with its left on the Lafayette Road and Stovall's Brigade in line on its left, it moved toward Kelly Field under constant artillery fire and pushed John Beatty's Brigade before it. It then encountered Stanley's Brigade, which had advanced to support Beatty. After passing beyond the Union left and reaching a point in the woods nearly opposite the center of Kelly Field, it was checked by the aid of Van Derveer's Brigade, Goodspeed's Battery, and other troops that appeared on its flank in Kelly Field. Together with Stovall's Brigade, it retired to its earlier position north and east of Kelly Field.
