This Brigade, in the general assault, held the right of Sheridan's Division, its left resting on the Moore road (Montgomery Avenue) with Harker's Brigade on its left and Stoughton's of Johnson's Division on the right. It formed in four lines, strongly covered by skirmishers, and after carrying carrying two lines of earthworks at the foot of the ridge halted at the second line for instructions. It was soon ordered forward and carried the crest, aiding in capturing a battery and many prisoners. It bivouacked on the summit, but at midnight was ordered forward in pursuit.
