At 10:30 a.m., Nov. 25th, this Brigade marched from Lookout Mountain for Rossville as the head of Hooker's column. It was delayed about three hours at Chattanooga Creek by the burning of a bridge. About 4 p.m., assisted by Williamson's Brigade on its left, with the 27th Missouri as skirmishers, it forced its way through the Gap, which was defended by a part of Clayton's Brigade with four guns, and turned north along the eastern base of the Ridge, finally charging obliquely to the summit, capturing many prisoners, and bivouacking here.
Marker is on Ridge Avenue north of South Crest Place, on the left when traveling north.
