Osterhaus' Division - Blair's Corps.
Brig. Gen. Peter J. Osterhaus.
Nov. 25, 1863, 3 P.M.
1st Brigade - Brig. Gen. Charles R. Woods.
2nd Brigade - Col. James A. Williamson.
The Division, being the head of Gen. Hooker's Column, reached Rossville from Lookout Mountain at 3 P.M. Nov. 25th. It pushed through the gap which was defended by a small force of infantry and artillery and turned northward upon a road running parallel to and about 1000 yards east of Missionary Ridge. After marching nearly a mile the command formed in echelons of brigades, the second brigade on the left and the first on the right. They moved obliquely up the slope of Missionary Ridge and carried the crest. The Command bivouacked on the eastern slope of the ridge in the vicinity of Bragg's Headquarters. The enemy's line against which it had been operating in cooperation with Cruft's and Geary's Divisions was held by the Division of Maj. Gen. Stewart.
