Battery C
The battery was placed in position a short distance to the right, and afterwards in rear of General Rosecrans headquarters, with an Ohio battery on its right. Seeing the enemy's skirmishers in front, firing was commenced on them about 8 A. M., when they disappeared. Later in the day a large force of the enemy appeared, advancing on the right and front of the battery, when it again opened fire, driving them ' back into the woods. They soon advanced in greater force, when the guns were double-shotted with canister and a rapid fire was opened with good effect for about an hour, but the enemy continued to advance.
