Hazen's Artillery
This section of guns represents Battery F, 1st Ohio Volunteer Artillery commanded by Lt. Norrel Osburn (four James Rifles & two 12 pdr. howitzers). Along with Capt. Jerome B. Cox's 10th Indiana Battery (four 10 pdr. Parrotts and two 12 pdr. howitzers) located across the railroad tracks to the north, this battery was able to hold its ground, helping Col. Hazen maintain his position during the crucial afternoon of December 31, 1862. The excellence of Union artillery served the day for the Union army, by protecting the vital supply line on the Nashville Pike.
Marker is on Old Nashville Highway, on the right when traveling north.
