Hazen's Brigade

On September 19, 1863, at 12:30 P.M., Brigadier General William B. Hazen's Brigade of Palmer's Division, Crittenden's Corps, went into action on this ground as the left of Palmer's Division, with Cruft's Brigade on its right. Its line advanced in echelon of brigades with Hazen's leading, encountered troops of Cheatham's Division, and fought steadily forward to the middle of Brock field. About 4 o'clock it was relieved by Turchin's Brigade and withdrew to the vicinity of the Poe House for ammunition. From there, part of the brigade was sent to assist Van Cleve's Brigade near the Brotherton house, while the rest was rallied in support of guns formed by General Reynolds diagonally across the LaFayette Road at the north line of the Poe field. It also took part in restoring the line on the right of General Reynolds' Division after it had been forced back by the left of Bate's Brigade of Stewart's Division.
