On September 20, 1863, at 7 a.m., Gregg's Brigade of Johnson's Division in Longstreet's Corps was under Colonel Cyrus A. Sugg and included the 3d, 10th, 30th, 41st, and 50th Tennessee, the 1st Tennessee Battalion, the 7th Texas, and Bledsoe's Missouri Battery. Early that Sunday morning, the first four regiments named formed the reserve of Johnson's Division for attack, while the remaining regiments stood on the left of Johnson's Brigade in the front line. About 11:10 a.m., the brigade advanced with its division in the general attack, penetrated the Union line west of the Brotherton House, then, upon reaching Dyer Field, turned toward the right and helped capture 15 guns on the crest northeast of Dyer's.
