Dick's Brigade

On Sept. 20, 1863, in the morning, Dick's Brigade of Van Cleve's Division in Crittenden's Corps, commanded by Colonel George F. Dick and composed of the 44th Indiana, 86th Indiana, 13th Ohio, 59th Ohio, and 7th Indiana Battery, moved at 9 o'clock from a position on the slope west of this point with Samuel Beatty's Brigade on its right to the first ridge east of this point, then toward the main line, and after reaching the rear of General Brannan's Division near the Poe house was ordered farther to the left. The brigade then took position in the woods west of the Kelly field behind Stanley's Brigade of Negley's Division, but almost immediately withdrew to the left and, except for the 44th Indiana and fragments of the 86th Indiana and 13th Ohio that rallied on Snodgrass Ridge, soon went on to McFarland's Gap and then to Rossville.
