Report of colonel Michael Gooding, twenty-second Indiana:  ...."I pushed men up to the second line of works as fast as possible; on and on, clear to the top, and over the ridge they went, to the hollow beyond, killing and wounding numbers of the enemy as we advanced, and leaving the rebel battery in our rear.  We captured great numbers of prisoners, and sent them to the rear without guards, as we deemed the pursuit of the enemy of greater importance....  “I cannot give too much praise to Captain Powers, Company “H,” Lieutenant Smith, Company “K,” Lieutenant Gooding, Company “A,” and Second Lieutenant Moser, Company “G,” for their assistance, and for the gallant manner in which they encouraged their men up the side of the mountain, and charging the enemy’s works right up to the muzzles of their guns.”

Report of colonel Jason Marsh, seventy-fourth Illinois:  ...."The first on the enemy’s works, and almost simultaneously, were Lieutenant Clement, Company “A,” Captain Stegner, Company “I,” Captain Bacon, Company “G,” and Captain Leffingwell, with some of their men.  The enemy was still in considerable force behind their works; but, for some unaccountable reason, they either fled or surrendered instantly upon the first few of our men reaching them —­not even trying to defend their battery, which was immediately captured by Captain Stegner.”

Report of lieutenant-colonel Porter C. Olson, thirty-sixth Illinois:  ...."In connection with other regiments of this brigade, we assisted in capturing several pieces of artillery, a number of caissons, and a great quantity of small-arms.”

Report of colonel John Q. Lane:  ...."At the house known as Bragg’s headquarters, the enemy were driven from three guns, which fell into our hands.”

Report of brigadier-general G. D. Wagner, second brigade:  ...."I ordered the command to storm the ridge, bringing up the Fifteenth Indiana and Ninety-seventh Ohio, which had not yet been engaged, although suffering from the enemy’s artillery.  The result is a matter of history, as we gained the ridge, capturing artillery, prisoners, and small-arms; to what amount, however, I do not know, as we pushed on after the enemy as soon as I had re-formed the command. ....Captain Tinney, with his usual gallantry, dashed up the line with the first troops, and with the aid of an orderly (George Dusenbury, Fifteenth Indiana), turned the loaded gun of the enemy on his retreating ranks.”

Report of Captain Benjamin F. Hegler, fifteenth Indiana:  ...."Our captures amounted to prisoners not counted, representing many different regiments; several pieces of artillery, and some wagons.”
