Federal Defenses
Dec. 2-15, 1864
Near here, the interior defensive lines ran southwest to cross Harding Pike; the total length of these works was about 7 miles. First garrisoned by Wood's IV Corps, it was occupied Dec. 15 by Donaldson's Division of Quarter-master employees. Part of the breastworks can be seen on Vanderbilt campus, 300 yards west.
Marker is at the intersection of 21st Avenue South and Medical Center Drive, on the right when traveling south on 21st Avenue South.
