The artillery battalion of this division was commanded by Maj. Alfred R. Courtney, and was composed of the Alabama batteries of Capt. S. H. Dent, Capt. James Garrity and Waters', Lieut. William P. Hamilton commanding; and Scott's Tennessee battery, Lieut. John Doscher.
On November 23rd this division held the right of the Confederate line at the base of Missionary Ridge, a portion of Manigault's brigade holding Orchard Knob. When the line was withdrawn to the crest of Missionary Ridge, the division took position next on the right of Breckinridge's division, but not connected with it. The afternoon of November 25th the position was carried by the assault of troops from the Army of the Cumberland and the division retreated to the Chickamauga and crossed it.
