Hood and Schofield

Arriving at Columbia ahead of the Confederates, Schofield entrenched around the town. Hood, arriving Nov. 26, demonstrated against his position, with Lee's corps and most of his artillery, while the rest of the Army of Tennessee crossed Duck River at Davis' Ford, 3 mi. E., intending to cut Schofield off at Spring Hill, 12 mi. N.

Marker is at the intersection of James M Cambpell Boulevard (State Highway 50) and Mt. Pleasant Pike (State Highway 243), on the right when traveling east on James M Cambpell Boulevard.
