On September 20, 1863, at 1 p.m., Kershaw's Brigade of McLaws' Division in Longstreet's Corps, commanded by Brigadier General Joseph Brevard Kershaw, advanced over the ridge in rear of this point after forcing Harker's Brigade out of the Dyer Field and immediately assaulted Stanley's Brigade and the line on its right. With Anderson's Brigade of Hindman's Division next on the left, Kershaw's attacks were continuous and persistent until 4:30, when Gracie's Brigade of Preston's Division arrived and passed to the front line. Three of Kershaw's regiments continued fighting with Preston until dusk.
