Harker's Brigade

On November 25th, 1863, Harker's Brigade of Sheridan's Division in Granger's Corps, under Colonel Charles G. Harker, formed the center of Sheridan's Division with its right on the Moore Road (Montgomery Avenue). In the general assault it advanced in two lines with heavy skirmish lines, with Colonel Walworth of the 42d Illinois commanding the right wing and Colonel Opdycke of the 125th Ohio the left. After carrying the rifle-pits at the base of the ridge, which were held by strong skirmish lines, part of the line advancing on the slope was retired to the foot. It was soon ordered forward again, the crest was carried along the brigade front, six guns were captured, and pursuit began at once.
