It held this position from 3:00 P.M. until 7:30, when it retired to Kelly's Field and bivouacked for the night. On September 20th, at daylight, the regiment and its brigade were held in reserve in Kelly Field; about 9:00 A.M. they moved to the left, assisted in repulsing Breckinridge's Division, and pushed it back to McDonald's Field. The regiment then returned to its former position and remained there until the army retired. Its losses were 10 killed, 59 wounded, and 30 captured or missing.
