Major General Thomas L. Crittenden

Twenty-First Army Corps.

Major General Thomas L. Crittenden.

1st Division — Brigadier General Thomas J. Wood.

2d Division — Major General John M. Palmer.

3d Division — Brigadier General Horatio P. Van Cleve.


September 19, 1863



During the afternoon and night of September 18th this corps was concentrated at Lee and Gordon's Mill. September 19 at 11 A.M. General Crittenden, hearing heavy firing on General Thomas' line, sent Palmer's Division to his support.



General Rosecrans directed Van Cleve's Division to be sent also. Palmer became engaged about 1 P.M. on the right of Johnson, then on Thomas' line, and Van Cleve attacked on the right of Palmer, east of Brotherton's about 2 P.M.



Palmer was engaged throughout the afternoon, supported first by Van Cleve and, later, by Reynolds of Thomas' Corps, but with Johnson well to the left and front, Van Cleve at 4 P.M., was driven across the LaFayette road at Brotherton's by Stewart's Division, where it rallied, but was soon forced by Stewart beyond the Crawfish Springs road, where he bivouacked. Barnes' Brigade of Van Cleve remained south of Viniard's, fighting to the right of Davis' Division of McCook's Corps until sunset. Buell's Brigade of Wood became engaged at Viniard's on Davis' left at 3:30 P.M., and thereafter, at intervals, till sunset. Harker's Brigade of Wood proceeding up the LaFayette road toward Brotherton's about 4 P.M. fell with two regiments upon the rear of Fulton's Brigade of Bushrod Johnson's Division west of that road and south of Brotherton's, and caused Johnson's withdrawal at 5 P.M.
