E. King's Brigade

On September 19, 1863, in the afternoon, Colonel Edward A. King's Brigade of Reynolds' Division, Thomas' Corps, reached the Poe House while moving to join Turchin's Brigade, which had been sent to the left of Palmer's Division, but was diverted to support Palmer's right. Three regiments moved to that position, while the 75th Indiana remained to support the 19th and 7th Indiana Batteries on this line, around which General Reynolds was organizing a reserve. As these regiments drifted farther to the right in an effort to assist Van Cleve's two brigades, the 75th Indiana was sent in on Grose's right. Soon after 3:30 o'clock, King's Brigade was forced back to this position by the advance of the right of Johnson's and the left of Stewart's Divisions, and rallied behind the batteries collected by General Reynolds. After holding this position for a short time and sustaining a fierce attack in front and flank, the brigade and line were forced to abandon the position and reform in rear of the Divisions of Brannan and Negley then advancing in the Dyer field.
