[CHAP. XLII.

The brigade was subjected during the day to the shelling from the enemy's guns and to annoyance his sharpshooters, but without any losses. At 9 p.m. in compliance with orders, the brigade marched from camp to Chattanooga. Three companies and the picket were left in position during the night, and to await orders to leave. Orders were subsequently sent to the officer in charge of the force left behind (Lieutenant-Colonel Hurd, Second Kentucky) to leave just before dawn of day, which was accordingly done, and the entire force rejoined its command shortly after sunrise without any casualty. Colonel Hurd performed this duty very gallantly.

The following is a summary of the casualties of the brigade in the battle of the 19th and 20th:
