I'm posting here as there is no Chickamauga forum per se. Hoping we have a few Chickamauga experts here. I am trying to trace Negley's division on September 20. Indications are he was ordered from the center of the line to pull out and support Thomas, the night before. He only sent Beatty's brigade initially due to Wood's lack of marching to take his place, his decision. When Rosecrans got that straightened out, the other brigades finally moved north. My question is really where were the three brigades when Longstreet struck? Beatty (who may have been furthest north as he helped repel Breckinridge) has been described as part of the rout that resulted, and I have seen on maps Stanley's brigade being part of the stand on/near Snodgrass Hill, but Sirwell is sometimes missing on the maps. I know that in the general confusion many units partially were routed, partially not. But wasn't Negley by then awfully far north to be caught up in the rout? And I believe he was carried along with it?
