...composed of four brigades of infantry, three batteries, and a detachment of cavalry, which was advancing from Ringgold to Reed's Bridge. Compelled Johnson to deploy his lines at the crossing of Pea Vine Creek about noon, and by stubborn resistance held the enemy back from the Chickamauga River until 3 p.m. About noon General Wilder, then holding Alexander's Bridge, sent Minty reenforcements from the 72d Indiana and the 123d Illinois, and two guns of Lily's (18th Indiana) Battery. These Minty posted at Dyer's Bridge and Ford on
his left. At 3 p.m. the enemy forced a crossing at Reed's Bridge and at 4 p.m. advanced to Jay's Mill where General Hood arrived and took command. Minty withdrew slowly toward Lee and Gordon's Mill to a point near the LaFayette Road south of Viniaed's. Whence, about 8 p.m., he took part with troops from Wilder's and Dick's Brigades in checking the advance of Hood's forces.
