Armstrong's Brigade.

At about 11 o'clock A.M. on Sept. 20, 1863, Armstrong's Brigade of Armstrong's Division in Forrest's Corps, under Col. James T. Wheeler, advanced dismounted from the edge of the woods east of this position and took possession of the Union hospitals about Cloud's. When Granger's reserve troops approached from the direction of McAfee's Church, Forrest's troops were forced back to their first position. After that column passed, Armstrong again advanced to the LaFayette Road, but was later compelled to withdraw by infantry and artillery from Granger's column. During the afternoon, the command was not actively engaged.
