Davis' Division, McCook's Corps

On Sept. 20, 1863, at 11:15 A.M., Davis' Division of McCook's Corps, commanded by Brig. Gen. Jefferson C. Davis, was aligned with the 2d Brigade under Brig. Gen. William P. Carlin on this line on the right of Wood's division, the 3d Brigade under Col. John A. Martin in its rear, and the 1st Brigade under Col. P. Sidney Post guarding the train. When Wood's division withdrew, the left of the 3d Brigade began to form on Carlin's left, and while this was taking place Davis' entire line was attacked by Hood's and Hindman's troops. After a brief and desperate fight, in which it was supported by Laibolot's and Lytle's brigades, the division was driven from the field to the high ground west of the Crawfish Springs road and then to McFarlands Gap.
