While the Brigade was moving on the Lafayette Road under
orders to proceed to McDonald's House, the 92nd Ohio and 18th
Kentucky were turned eastward by General Reynolds from a point south of the Kelly House and came into action on this ground, with
Hazen's Brigade of Palmer's Division to the right and front, and Willich's Brigade of Johnson's Division to the left. General Turchin with the rest of the Brigade returned from the vicinity of
McDonald's, and reached this line about 3 o'clock, soon relieving
Hazen's Brigade in the Brock Field, and then closing in on the left of Cruft's Brigade of Palmer's Division. In this position
these two Brigades sustained a severe attack from the right of
Bate's Brigade of Stewart's Division, and a portion of Law's
Brigade of Hood's Division. The latter



was repulsed by Turchin.
The Brigade then retired with Cruft's and formed on the line from
which the last advance was made. Here both remained for a time
unengaged, when they were withdrawn to the Lafayette Road to
bivouac. Upon reaching the road both were dispatched at dusk to
the assistance of Johnson's Division which had been suddenly
attacked. Before reaching Johnson's lines the fighting ceased and
Turchin and Cruft returned to their bivouacs.
