J. Beatty's Brigade

J. Beatty's Brigade, part of Negley's Division in Thomas' Corps under Brigadier General John Beatty, included the 104th Illinois under Lieutenant Colonel Douglas Hapeman, the 42nd Indiana under Lieutenant Colonel William T.B. McIntire, the 88th Indiana under Colonel George Humphrey, the 15th Kentucky under Colonel Marion C. Taylor, and Bridges Battery of Illinois under Captain Lyman Bridges. On September 19, 1863, at 6 p.m., it was the last brigade of Negley's Division withdrawn from Glass Mill. It reached this field about sundown and bivouacked about 200 yards west as the reserve of the division, then in line on the eastern edge of the Brotherton woods. Early on the morning of the 20th, it was sent northward along the LaFayette road and formed on the left of Baird's Division near the junction of the Alexander's Bridge road.
