On September 18, 1863, Law's Brigade of Hood's Division in Longstreet's Corps, under Colonel James L. Sheffield and including the 4th, 15th, 44th, 47th, and 48th Alabama regiments, occupied the right of Hood’s division in the morning line of battle, with Robertson’s brigade on its left and Benning’s in the second line. About 3 o’clock, the brigade moved to support Stewart’s division, then engaged east of Brotherton’s. It passed in the rear of Stewart’s line, and part of it attacked Crufts brigade, which, assisted by Turchin’s brigade, checked the brigade’s advance.
