This Brigade was formed, in part, on the left of the Division: the remainder, consisting of the first four regiments, was placed in a second line in rear as a reserve.
It advanced at 11:10 a.m., from the first crest east of the LaFayette road.
It occupied this line under heavy skirmish fire. In its advance towards the Dyer field it suffered greatly from the fire of a heavy force of the enemy, strongly posted to its right behind barricades of rails and fallen timber. The reserve passed to the front and the Brigade dislodged this force, but with heavy loss.
Upon reaching the Dyer field the Brigade changed direction toward the right and assisted in capturing seventeen guns on the crest northwest of Dyer's. The Brigade next took part in the assault on Snodgrass Hill from the vicinity of Vittetoe's.
