No. 73. report of Col. George H. Cram, Ninth Kentucky Infantry, of operations June 26-September 8. headquarters Ninth Kentucky Infantry, Atlanta, Ga., September 14, 1864. Captain: I have the honor to present my report, from the time I rejoined the regiment. I found the regiment in camp with the brigade in front of Kenesaw Mountain, confronting the enemy. On the 25th we lay in camp. On the 26th the regiment moved with the brigade to the right, and formed in the rear and support of General Newton's division, while it made an assault on the enemy'stworks. The assault being unsuccessful we moved back to camp, by Colonel Knefier's order.

Our line was so close to the enemy that no pickets could be put out to cover the left of the regiment. The men were obliged t

e works. The ground in front of their works to their rifle-pits was open and a regular slope, and a terrible fire of musketry and artillery opened upon us, and the brigade on our left not moving forward, we were unable to reach the works, and were compelled to fall back in some confusion. Both regiments were rallied at the rifle-pits, and works thrown up, which we held. The assault was gallantly made, and for a time promised to be successful, and had we been supported on our left, the result might have been different. After remaining in this camp three days, constantly under fire from the enemy's skirmishers, it was announced that the campaign was ended, and we were ordered back to this point, where we arrived September 11, 1864, the loss of the whole campaign being 15 killed and 51 wounded. I have the honor to be, your obedient servant, Geo. H. Cram, Colonel, Commanding Ninth Kentucky Infantry. Capt. W. S. S. Erb, Actg. Asst. Adjt. Gen., 3d Brig., 3d Div., 4th Army Corps.
