On September 19, 1863, Gregg's Brigade of Johnson's Division in Longstreet's Corps, commanded by Brigadier General John Gregg and composed of the 3d, 10th, 30th, 41st, and 50th Tennessee, the 1st Tennessee Battalion, the 7th Texas, and Bledsoe's Missouri Battery, moved from its bivouac a short distance in the rear and formed a line of battle on this ground about 7 A.M., with Johnson's brigade on its right and McNair's brigade in reserve. About 2 P.M., Heg's and Carlin's Union brigades moved against the position from the direction of Viniard's house. The brigade advanced with its division and soon became hotly engaged, fighting its way to a point near the Lafayette road north of Viniard's.
