Third Brigade - Reserve Corps - Army of
the Mississippi
Colonel Winfield S. Statham
This brigade formed the rear of the army and consisted of the Fifteenth and Twenty-eighth, and Forty-fifth Tennessee, and Rutledge's Tennessee battery. It followed Bowen's brigade, and at noon was put in line south of Peach Orchard en échelon to and 800 yards in rear of Bowen. It moved forward into the Orchard, and at about 2.20 p.m. was put in position by Governor Harris and ordered to attack the Union forces at Bloody Pond. It moved to this attack in conjunction with Colonel Maney. After the surrender it joined Breckinridge in his movement east on the ridge. It is not know where it bivouacked Sunday night. On Monday it was doubtless engaged with Breckinridge, but there are no reports of brigades or regiments. Rutledge's battery was first in action on a hill in the rear of the brigade, then reported to General Ruggles and formed a part of his artillery line. On Monday it was near Shiloh Church. The Nineteenth Tennessee went with Colonel Maney Sunday to Lick Creek and was with him in the charge at Peach Orchard at 2.30 p.m., and at the time of the surrender of Prentiss was with Colonel Looney, Thirty-eighth Tennessee, at the camp of the Third Iowa. The Twentieth Tennessee must have been engaged Monday with Breckinridge-its colonel, Battle, was captured in the vicinity of Lost Field by the Seventy-seventh Pennsylvania.
