U.S. First Brigade;

Colonel John Sanborn's Brigade, made up of the 48th Indiana Infantry under Colonel Norman Eddy, the 59th Indiana Infantry under Colonel Jesse I. Alexander, and the 4th Minnesota Infantry under Lieutenant Colonel John E. Tourtelotte, arrived at the head of Brigadier General Marcellus Crocker's Division at 1:30 p.m. and deployed on the ridge west of the Utica Road. The three regiments advanced across the field to Fourteenmile Creek and took position on the left flank of the 30th Illinois of Brigadier General Dennis' Brigade. Major General McPherson then ordered the 59th and 48th Indiana to move to the Union right to support the brigades of Generals Smith and Stevenson, leaving the 4th Minnesota on the Union left flank. The Indiana regiments supported the 7th Missouri and 32d Ohio on the far Union right and became engaged late in the afternoon as the Confederates withdrew. The 4th Minnesota remained at the creek in response to a feint by the 18th Tennessee battalion intended to cover the withdrawal of southern forces. Casualties were 1 wounded.
