Dick's Brigade

Dick's Brigade, in Van Cleve's Division of Crittenden's Corps under Colonel George F. Dick, included the 44th Indiana under Lieutenant Colonel Simeon C. Aldrich, the 86th Indiana under Major Jacob C. Dick, the 13th Ohio under Lieutenant Colonel Elhannon M. Mast, the 59th Ohio under Lieutenant Colonel Granville A. Frambes, and the 7th Indiana Battery under Captain George R. Swallow. At 4 a.m. on September 19, 1863, the 44th Indiana and 59th Ohio were brought to this position from near the Hall house and formed on the edge of the woods west of the LaFayette Road, facing the Viniard field. At 1 o'clock p.m., the 13th Ohio and 86th Indiana were brought up from near Lee and Gordon's Mill, and the reunited brigade moved rapidly by the LaFayette Road to the Brotherton house, then immediately entered action in the forest a short distance southeast of that point.
