Stanley's Brigade

On September 20, 1863, at 10 a.m., Colonel Timothy R. Stanley's brigade of Negley's Division in Thomas' Corps, including the 19th Illinois under Lieutenant Colonel Alexander W. Raffen, the 11th Michigan under Colonel William L. Stoughton, the 18th Ohio under Lieutenant Colonel Chas. H. Grosvenor, and 1st Ohio Light Battery M under Captain Frederick Schultz, moved to this second position after being relieved about 9:30 a.m. by troops of Wood's division on the line west of Brotherton's and formed to check the advance of troops of Breckinridge's division. After severe fighting in which Beatty's brigade was driven from position, Breckinridge's troops were at first checked and then repulsed, with General Adams, commanding brigades, wounded and captured. Stanley's brigade, considerably scattered by its serious engagement with the divisions of Breckinridge and Liddell, was later gathered by its officers and retired to Snodgrass Ridge.
