Stanley's Brigade

On September 20, 1863, at 10:40 a.m., Stanley's Brigade of Negley's Division in Thomas's Corps, commanded by Col. Timothy R. Stanley and including the 19th Illinois, 11th Michigan, 18th Ohio, and 1st Ohio Light Battery M, moved to this position after being relieved about 9:30 a.m. by troops of Wood's division on the line west of Brotherton's and formed to support John Beatty's brigade, which was then engaged toward McDonald's house. The battery had previously been ordered to Snodgrass Hill. After a furious Confederate attack had considerably scattered the brigade, its officers gathered it up and it retired to Snodgrass Hill.
