On Sept. 19, 1863, at 4:30 P.M., Dick's Brigade of Van Cleve's Division in Crittenden's Corps, under Colonel George F. Dick, included the 44th Indiana under Lieutenant Colonel Simeon C. Aldrich, the 86th Indiana under Major Jacob C. Dick, the 13th Ohio under Captain Horatio G. Cosgrove, the 59th Ohio under Lieutenant Colonel Granville A. Frambes, and the 7th Indiana Battery under Captain George R. Swallow. After Stewart's Division forced it out of the forest east of this position, Dick's Brigade and Beatty's Brigade formed on this ridge and, aided by the 9th Indiana and 41st Ohio from Hazen's Brigade, held the position for about thirty minutes. An advance by Stewart's troops from the front and a flanking attack by Johnson's Brigade on the right then forced the whole line back through and across Dyer Field. Van Cleve's brigades rallied and bivouacked on the slope just west of the Crawfish Springs Road opposite Dyer's House.
