At 3.30 p. m. he was ordered to the left in haste by the Lafayette road. BuelPs brigrade went into action an honr later near Viiiiard's. Harker moved on nearly to Brotherton's and became engaged there. During the night the division was moved to the high ground west of the Crawfish Springs road and near Lytle Station. Early on the 20th it was sent forward to relieve Negley on the front line near Brotherton's. Being ordered to close on Reynolds, a break was left in the line through which Longstreet advanced about 11 o'clock, effectually breaking the Union center. Harker returned rapidly from the left and held the head of Longstreet's corps in check in the Dyer fields for some time, while Brannan was re-forming his line on Suodgrass Hill. Barker's brigade then retired" slowly to the bare ridge north of the Suodgrass house, where it fought till the battle ended, and withdrew by way of McFarland's Gap at 7 p. m. General Wood was in command on the hill with General Brannan, and portions of BuelPs brigade reached the line there and remained with it.

General Bragg's army was composed of Folk's, Hill's, Buckner's, Loiigstreet's (Hood's), and Walker's (Reserve) corps of infantry and Wheeler's and Forrest's corps of cavalry. For the second day's fight it was divided into two wings, General Polk commanding the right and General Long-street the left. The main body of the army crossed the Chickamauga at Reed's Bridge and the fords between that point, and Lee and Gordon's Mill, on the afternoon and night of the 18th, and tunned in the vicinity of and to the north of Hnnt's and Thedford's houses for an advance on the Union position at Lee and Gordon's. The battle was, however, unexpectedly opened by Union troops, which by a night march from McLeniore Cove had reached the vicinity of Jay's Mill and attacked a portion of Forrest's cavalry which had arrived at that point from Alexander's Bridge. Instead of attacking Crittendeii's corps at Lee and Gordon's, General Bragg's divisions were dis patched in succession to his right and rear to meet the Union army on its new ground.

During the night of the 19th General Bragg divided his army into right and left wings, without regard to corps organizations and having regard only to the positions on the line in which the divisions found themselves at the close of the day's fighting. The right wing was commanded by General Polk. It comprised Forrest's cavalry divisions, Armstrong's and Pegram's, and the infantry divisions of Breckinridge, Liddell, Gist (Walker's), Cleburne, and Cheatham.
