IX Corps Headquarters, Maj. Gen. Jesse Reno Fox's Gap, South Mountain, Maryland September 14, 1862 10:40 a.m. Awaiting Wilcox's Division, the Kanawha Division pulls back to the base of Fox's Gap; a defensive line is formed. Two of Crook's Regiments head forward to rescue the Kentucky Light Battery in the orchard. Enemy forces storm down the hillside towards Crook's exposed Regiments. The Enemy number nearly 2,000 men, parts of Garland's, Colquitt's, and Anderson's Brigades. The 11th Ohio is thrown back in mass confusion, while Gilmore's Cavalry Company evaporates. The 28th Ohio, personally led by Crook, holds its positions, even though it's in column formation. [image]local://upfiles/31611/97225E108DBE45B2851D7A4D0F0BD5CF.jpg[/image]
