CAPTAIN: I have the honor to submit the following as my report of the part taken by the Eleventh Tennessee Regiment in the battle of Chickamauga:
This command engaged the enemy on Saturday, the 19th, about 12 m., and after a brisk and steady fire of about two hours’ duration, their ammunition being exhausted, they were relieved by another command and retired to the rear by order of Brig. Gen. Preston Smith. <ar51_111> During the engagement the command sustained a loss of 8 killed and 44 wounded.
Subsequent to this engagement nothing of especial importance was performed by the command.
Respectfully, your obedient servant,
