Battle of Murfreesboro

Jan. 2, 1863

1/2 mile north is the hillock commanding a ford over Stone's River. Here Capt. John Mendenhall, 4th US Artillery, artillery officer on Gen. Crittenden's Staff, set a groupment of 58 guns which broke up the assault across the river of Mag. Gen John C. Breckinridge's Confederate Division. Tablets on the spot give details.

Marker is at the intersection of New Nashville Highway (U.S. 41) and Van Cleeve Lane, on the left when traveling north on New Nashville Highway.
