Numbers 703.Report of Brigadier General William H. Young, C. S. Army, commanding Ector's brigade, of operations July 17-September 4.
HEADQUARTERS ECTOR'S BRIGADE,
Lovejoy's Station, September 17, 1864.MAJOR: In compliance with circular orders from corps headquarters of the 16th instant, I have the honor to submit the following report of the action this brigade since General Hood took command of the army, about July 17 [18]:

About 12 m. on the brigade was ordered to move to the right along the main works, the skirmishers along the rifle-pits. When the brigade had moved to the right within about half a mile of the road leading from Pace's Ferry to Atlanta, it crossed the works and moved forward until it arrived at the line of rifle-pits. Here, while halted, the skirmishers came in contact with it, were rallied, and their proper positions in the brigade, which was soon of Cockrell's brigade.
During the night the two brigades were withdrawn, and on the 21st we took position in the trenches, with the right resting about a quarter of mile west of the Pace's Ferry road. About 4 p. m . of
