The Battery crossed the Chickamauga with the Battalion at Alexander's Bridge on the morning of the 19th, was held as the reserve artillery of Buckner's Corps, and took position in rear of his line, where the Battery remained most of the day at times under heavy artillery fire but not engaged.



On the morning of the 20th near noon the Battery moved forward taking several positions without firing till about 5 P.M., when by order of General Longstreet under the direction of Major Porter, Buckner's Chief of Artillery, the Battery was placed in position on this ground and opened fire on the enemy who was crossing the road from his left to his right near the Kelly house, continuing the fire until General Stewart's Division advanced beyond the Battery front. As the Division advanced, General Buckner conducted this Battery to the Kelly field, where, firing having ceased, it bivouacked. Casualties of the battle: 1 enlisted man killed and 2 wounded; 8 horses killed and 2 wounded.
