On November 25, 1863, Brig. Gen. Joseph A.J. Lightburn's Brigade of Morgan L. Smith's Division, 15th Corps, consisting of the 83rd Indiana, 30th Ohio, 37th Ohio, 47th Ohio, 54th Ohio, and 4th West Virginia, advanced from the Tennessee River about 2 P.M. on November 24, seized the high ridge about 950 yards north of this point late in the day, and intrenched. About 9 A.M. on the 25th, the 30th and 37th Ohio and two companies of the 4th West Virginia, all under Col. Theodore Jones and supported by the 47th Ohio on the left, crossed the intervening valley, captured the outer Confederate works near this point, and moving to the left in conjunction with Corse's Brigade on the right, at 10:30 A.M. assaulted the main Confederate works about 220 yards south, where they were repulsed. The detachment was relieved at dark by part of Giles A. Smith's Brigade and rejoined its brigade. Its loss was 10 killed and 76 wounded.
