On November 25, 1863, at 5 P.M., Hazen's Brigade of Wood's Division in Granger's Corps, under Brig. Gen. William B. Hazen, advanced from Orchard Knob in two lines, with four regiments in each line and the 124th Ohio as skirmishers. The brigade captured the rifle-pits at the foot and, after a brief rest, assaulted the ridge on Gen. Hazen's order. The 1st Ohio, under Lieut. Col. Bassett Langdon, was the first regiment of the brigade to reach the summit. The brigade's casualties were 60 killed, 288 wounded, and 7 missing.
