——————
At noon this Brigade was sent to reinforce Gen. Ewing's Division. Soon after 1 P.M. it was formed in two lines, the front line, the 17th Iowa on the right and the 80th Ohio on the left, reached about half way up the slope of the hill to support Matthies Brigade, which had reached the crest just south of this, the rear line - the 56th Illinois on the right and 10th Missouri on the left - remaining at the base of the hill about 250 yards northwest of this tablet. After a severe engagement Matthies' Brigade and Raum's advance line were driven from their position by a charge of the enemy on their front and right flank. Raum's reserve regiments held their position and assisted in checking the enemy's advance in their direction.
Marker can be reached from North Crest Road north of Lightfoot Mill Road.
