(Nov. 23-24-25, 1863.) On the 25th, Thomas was ordered to attack all along his front. His troops assailed the field-works, and capturing them, advanced up the Ridge and overran the works at the summit. Having been supplied with horses from General Sherman's artillery, the battery moved to the front the morning of November 24th under Cap- tain Guenther, who had rejoined at Chattanooga on October 31. " During the day I was joined by Captain Guenther's battery," says Sher- idan, who commanded the ...2d Division, IV. Corps, " which I placed on Bushy Knob. On the next morning I directed Colonel Harkerto drive in the en- emy's pickets from my front. Guenther's battery was moved to a position ■ n front of Harker's centre. In the afternoon, the signal being given, the division advanced under a most terrible tornado of shot and shell, and passed over the first line of pits. Believing the Ridge could be carried, orders were given, and obeyed with a cheer." "In my special mentions," reports General Sheridan, " must be included Captain Guenther, commanding a battery temporarily assigned to me, to whom I am indebted for valuable services rendered." The battery encamped at Chattanooga until March 25, 1864, when it left for Nashville, where it remained till the last day of August.
