Title
View No. 17. Chickamauga. Adams' Louisiana Brigade.
Date Created
1894 (approximate)
Description
This view is looking South at the part of Thomas' breastworks carried by the Louisiana Brigade at 5:50 p.m., September 20th, 1863. The works were held by J.H. King's Brigade of regulars. The monuments seen are those of the 18th U.S. Regulars (the one with the soldier in the act of firing) and the other that of the 15th U.S. Regulars. The logs lying before them mark the place of the breastworks. This point is an angle of the works that extend off to the left following the contour of Kelly's fields that are seen through the woods. Numerous Federal monuments mark the line. These works formed the left of Thomas' entrenchments. In charging here, the Louisiana Brigade stood facing southwest, and about 1000 yards east of the farthest point it had reached, in the morning, in its onslaught from the McDonald fields. After carrying the works, it pressed on across the Kelly fields, almost at right angles to its direction in the morning charge; and crossing the Chattanooga road, halted on the ground where it had then been repulsed, and found the dead and wounded it had left behind. The white stake marks the center of the Brigade; the marked tree is about the spot where Capt. C. H. Luzenberg, of the 13th and 20th Louisiana was shot down within twenty steps of the breastworks. This position was fixed by the Louisiana and the National Commissioners on the 25th of September, 1893, and marked by W. A. Wood of the Engineer Department of the National Commission, and figures in his notes as Adams' Brigade at 5:50, September 20th, 1863, Line No. 30-15 ft. N-0x78.
