The 79th Indiana Infantry, commanded by Colonel Frederick Knefler and serving in Samuel Beatty’s 1st Brigade, Van Cleve’s 3rd Division, and Crittenden’s 21st Corps, became engaged with the enemy about 1 p.m. on Saturday, September 19, 1863, southeast of Brotherton House and east of the Lafayette Road, and from that position went into the charge in which Carnes’ Confederate Battery was captured. On Sunday, September 20, the regiment and its brigade were caught in the break at the center and soon withdrew from the field.
