This Brigade advanced with its Division from the Kelly Field at noon, reaching this position about 1 o'clock p.m. Willich's Brigade was on its right and Dodge's in reserve. It first became engaged on this ground where it struck the left of Forrest's dismounted cavalry, and forced it to retire upon Cheatham's line. After severe fighting with the right of Cheatham's Division and troops of Forrest it moved forward and reached the field where Scribner's Brigade of Baird's Division first became engaged and occupied that position.
