Tyndale's Brigade, on the right of the division, reached this point about 8 a.m., relieved a portion of Crawford's Brigade and engaged the Confederate infantry in the East Woods.
After a short and sharp contest, the enemy gave way and the brigade, obliquing to the left, crossed the Smoketown Road, entered the fields to the right of Mumma's burning buildings, and took position behind the ridge opposite the Dunkard Church.
Marker is at the intersection of Smoketown Road and Mansfield Monument Road, on the right when traveling south on Smoketown Road.
