C.S. Johnson's 1st Brigade, part of Cheatham's 2d Division in Polk's Corps of the Army of the Mississippi, included Walker's 2d Tennessee, 15th Tennessee, Blythe's Mississippi, and 154th Tennessee, arranged from left to right in that order. About 9 A.M. on April 6, 1862, it came up at this place and reinforced the brigades of Cleburne and Anderson. The three brigades became commingled, renewed the attack, and at 10 A.M. drove back the Union line from its position at Shiloh Church. The 154th Tennessee on the right passed east of Rhea House and assisted in the capture of two guns of Waterhouse's battery. The brigade's next position was near cross roads.
