Few casualties occurred, andsoon contempt took the place of nervousness, and as we could notreply in kind on account of the elevation required for our guns, themen responded by jeers and imprecations whenever a shell fell intotheir camp. Meantime, orders having been issued for the organization of the army, additional troops were attached to my command, and it became theSecond Division of the Fourth Army Corps, to which Major-GeneralGordon Granger was assigned as commander. This necessitated a c...hangeof position of the division, and I moved to ground behind our works, with my right resting on Fort Negley and my left extending well overtoward Fort Wood, my front being parallel to Missionary Ridge. Mydivision was now composed of twenty-five regiments, classified intobrigades and demi-brigades, the former commanded by Brigadier-GeneralG. D. Wagner, Colonel C. G. Harker, and Colonel F. T. Sherman; thelatter, by Colonels Laiboldt, Miller, Wood, Walworth, and Opdyke. The demi-brigade was an awkward invention of Granger's; but at thistime it was necessitated--perhaps by the depleted condition of ourregiments, which compelled the massing of a great number ofregimental organizations into a division to give it weight and force.
