Tenth Brigade - Fourth Division - Army
of the Ohio
Colonel Jacob Ammen
This brigade, composed of the Thirty-sixth Indiana and the Sixth and Twenty-fourth Ohio, crossed the Tennessee River at 5:30 p.m., Sunday, April 6, 1862. Eight companies of the Thirty-sixth Indiana and four companies of the Sixth Ohio were formed one-quarter of a mile in front of the Log House in support of Stone's battery, "the left in a ravine parallel with the Tennessee River and having water in it." These companies participated in the final repulse of the Confederates Sunday night. The Twenty-fourth Ohio was sent one-half mile to the right, but did not become engaged. After the repulse of the enemy the brigade formed 300 yards in advance on the crest of the bluffs of Dill Branch, where it bivouacked Sunday night. On Monday it formed line of battle, with the Thirty-sixth Indiana on the left, the Sixth Ohio on the right, and the Twenty-fourth Ohio in reserve, and at 5:30 a.m. crossed the ravine and at 8 a.m., became engaged on the extreme left of the Union line, near Tennessee River. At about 11 a.m. Ammen's advance was checked by an attempt of Confederates to turn his left. He was reinforced by Second Iowa and another regiment and repulsed the attack. He reached Stuart's camp at about 1 p.m., but was driven back. At 2 p.m. this camp was again taken, the Confederates retiring from this part of the field.
