 For sometime before the battle this division ocriipied the fortifications 
 of Clinttanoojin from Fort Nejiley to a point near Fort Wood. General 
 Baird's division was on its ri;^lit and (leneral Wood's on its left. On the 
 afternoon of Noveinl)er 1*3 it sni)ported General Wood's division in a 
 movement on Orchard Knob, itself carrying- the low ridge to the right 
 and rear of this knob. On the morning of the 25tli Barker's brigade 
 pushed back the enemy's i)i('kets, and the division moved forward to the 
 next ridge so as to ])rolong General Wood's line. At .3.15 p. m. the 
 division took i)art in the storming of Missionary Eidge, moving against 
 and capturing the enemy's ririe-])its in its front at the base of the Ridge, 
 and, starting fiom that line, scaled the summit. The center of the divi- 
 sion reached the crest very near General Bragg's headquarters. The 
 division, after carrying the crest in its front, i)ressed on in pursuit, 
 continuing this until dark, with sharj) skirmishing and one serious attack 
 upon the enemy's rear guard.

This division occupied the left of theline of works about Chattanooga, 
 its liglit restiu"' on Fort Wood and its left on the Tennessee Kiver above 
 the city. On ISToveniber 23, supported on the right by Slieridan's divis- 
 ion and on the left by tlie Elevf^ntli Corps, it formed the column of attack 
 on Orchard Knob. It deployed in front of Fort Wood at 1.30 p. m., 
 moved directly upon the knob, and after short but sharp fighting car- 
 ried the position. It reversed tlie enemy's works and added new ones, 
 and remained in this position until 3.15 p. m. ISTovember 25, when it 
 moved to the assault of Missionary liidge witli Baird's division on its 
 left and Sheridan's and Johnson's on its right, in the oider named. It 
 carried the enemy's rifle-pits in its front at the foot of the ridge, which 
 completed the movement covered by the orders given this part of the 
 line. Tlie men, however, who first reached the rifle-pits kept on and 
 began the ascent of the ridge, aiul carried it without a halt. The other 
 divisions of the assaulting column to the right and left also went for- 
 ward to the snmmit, which was carried at six points at nearly the same 
 time, and in about an hour from the beginning of the movement. 
 
 Fifteen hundred men of Ilazen's brigade of this division manned 
 the boats which floated down to Brown's Ferry, and made the 
 successful landing at tlnit jtoint at 5 a. m. of November 27, which 
 resulted in reopening the Tennessee Eiver. The rest of the brigade, 
 under Lieutenant-Colonel Bassett Langdon, First Ohio, co-ox)erated 
 from the right bank of the river f>pi)osite the lauding point.

 ESCORT. 
 
 1st Ohio Cavalry, Company L, Capt. John D. Barker. 
 
 This corps, after the reorganization which took ])lace early in Octo- 
 ber, was com])osed of the divisions of Brig. (len. E. W. Johnson (First), 
 Brig. Gen. Jefferson C. Davis (Second), and l>rig. Gen. Absalom Baird 
 (Third). It occu j)icd the fortifications of Chattanooga from Fort Negley 
 to the Tennessee Biver below the city, its right being establislied upon 
 tlie S(mth points of the spurs extending southerly from Cameron Hill. 
 The First and Third divisions took part in the battle in front of Chatta- 
 nooga, the Second was sent to prepare for and cover the crossing of 
 General Sherman's army over the Tennessee, opposite the north point 
 of Missionary liidge. Carlin's brigade, of Johnson's division, ascended 
 Lookout Mountain, toward evening of the 24th, from the mouth of 
 Chattanooga Creek, and rei^nforced the right of General Hooker's line 
 under the palisades, near the Craven House. The First and Second 
 brigades of this division formed the right of the four storming divis- 
 ions of the Army of the Ckimberland against Missionary liidge. Baird's 
 division supjtorted Slieridan in the movement on the Orchard Knob line 
 of the enemy on the afternoon of November 23, and on the morning of the 
 25th it was sent to the vicinity of the Tunnel to support General Sher- 
 man's attack at that point, but there being no room for it to operate it 
 returned and formed north of Orchard Knob and on the left of General 
 Wood's division of the Fourth Corps, and became the left of the line in 
 the storming of Missionary Bidge. General Baird's instructions to his 
 line before the advance began contemplated an advance to the sunuuit, 
 as did the instructions given in the other divisions of the Fourteenth 
 Corps (Johnson's), which formed the right of the assaulting line. Both

 This division held Fort Negiey in the line of fortiticatioiis and 
 iutieuclnncnts to the rijjht of it. It moved forward dnring the after- 
 noon of the -3d November, foriiiiiio' between the Rossville and INIoore 
 roads as a i)roteetion to (Jeneral Sheridan's riiiht in the movement 
 toward Orchard Knob. It remained in this position until Wednesday 
 morniiiii-, Nov. -oth, when, by a reconnoissance of Van Derveer's brigade, 
 it developed the fact tliat the enemy had withdrawn from the plain sonth 
 of Chattanooga. Al)out 11 o'clock tlic division was ordered t(»the assist- 
 ance of (Jeiier;il Sherman, tlien engaged at Tunnel Hill. U])on reach- 
 ing that point, four miles distant, the division was ordered to return 
 and form on the left of (Jeneral Wood's division, which then rested on 
 Orchard Knob, with its left a short distance noitli of that point. In 
 this position the division became the left of the line formed for the 
 movement against Missionary Ividge. The orders given this portion 
 of the line before the movement began contemplated its going to the 
 toj). When the rifle pits were carried at the base of the ridge Turchin's 
 brigade at once pressed toward the summit. Orders were received by

 General Baird at this jinictiire not to allow bis men to go beyond the 
 ritle pits nor permit tliem to become engiiged. This was countermanded 
 in a few moments and his- whole line advanced to the top. On reach- 
 ing the summit the troops of tlie division, in a mass and without regard 
 to organi/iition, turned to the left toward a column of tlie enemy- 
 approaching from the north and after a sharp fight, lasting about 
 twenty minutes, repulsed it. In the storming of the ridge Van Der- 
 veer's brigade, which was the center ot the division, carried the point 
 where the first observation tower, north of Bragg's lieadquarters, 
 stands; Turchin's brigade charged up over the open slope next south 
 of it, and Thelps' brigade went up through tlie deep ravine adjoining 
 it on the north.
