Johnson's Division

— McCook's Corps —

Dodge's Brigade.
Johnson's Division, McCook's Corps.
Colonel Joseph B. Dodge.
September 20, 1863, 8 a.m.
79th Illinois - Colonel Allen Buckner.
29th Indiana - Lieutenant Colonel David M. Dunn.
30th Indiana - Lieutenant Colonel Orrin D. Hurd.
20th Ohio Battery - Captain Edward Grosskopff.


About 8 o'clock the 29th and 30th Indiana and part of the 79th Illinois moved from the southeast side of the Kelly field and formed here, having John Beatty's brigade of Negley's division on the left. About 9:30 a.m. they were heavily attacked by a part of Helm's brigade and Stovall's of Breckinridge's division. After Beatty's brigade had been forced from his left Dodge retired his command about 100 yards to better guard that flank. He was heavily engaged during the forenoon and part of the afternoon. Toward sunset he was ordered to withdraw, and lost heavily in gaining the woods west of the Lafayette road. Thence the brigade proceeded to Rossville. Loss during the two days: killed 27; wounded 200; captured or missing 309; total 536.
