Indiana's One Hundred and First Regiment Infantry, commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Thomas Doan and serving in Second Brigade (King), Fourth Division (Reynolds), Fourteenth Corps (Thomas), went into battle about one o'clock P.M. on September 19th in the woods near Brotherton's. It was vigorously engaged most of the afternoon, then moved near the Poe Field. On the morning of the 20th it was assigned a position where it helped hold against fierce enemy assaults until near noon, when it moved to a new line formed south of the Kelly Field, from which it helped drive the enemy. About 6 o'clock, by order of General Thomas, the regiment reported to General Brannan at Snodgrass Hill. After the fighting was over, about 8 o'clock P.M., it was ordered from the field.
