On Sept. 19, 1863, at 1:30 p.m., Colonel George F. Dick's Brigade of Van Cleve's Division, Crittenden's Corps, formed on this line with 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 13th Ohio under Captain Horatio G. Cosgrove, the 59th Ohio under Lieutenant Colonel Granville A. Frambes, and the 7th Indiana Battery under Captain George R. Swallow. It went into action a short distance to the front, with Samuel Beatty's Brigade of the same division on its left. As it advanced, it became engaged with Wright's Brigade of Cheatham's Division and was forced across the Lafayette Road south of Brotherton's, where, with Samuel Beatty's Brigade and some troops from Hazen's Brigade of Palmer's Division, it held the enemy in check until 4 p.m. Then Johnson's Brigade of Johnson's Division crossed the Lafayette Road south of Brotherton's and attacked the brigade in flank while Clayton advanced against its front, and the brigade retired to the crest just west of the Dyer House.
