On September 19, 1863, Brigadier General William P. Carlin's Brigade of Davis' Division, McCook's Corps, arrived from Crawfish Springs about 1 p.m. and formed a line of battle with Heg's Brigade on its left and two regiments of Wilder's Brigade of mounted infantry on its right. It moved forward at once, crossed the LaFayette Road, and attacked the enemy in the field east of Viniard's. The 21st Illinois was sent to support Heg's Brigade on the left, and the 81st Indiana was detached to support the division's artillery. The brigade was hotly engaged, several times repulsing the enemy and being in turn repulsed, but finally regained its position at the road until Bradley's Brigade of Sheridan's Division relieved it about 4 p.m. The brigade then withdrew to the edge of the forest west of Viniard's and bivouacked.
