Wood's Brigade
Col. James Wood's brigade, Ward’s div., [US] was the left of the 20th A.C. line. It was posted in the ravine N. of Collier Rd. where its left joined Kimball’s brigade. Newton’s div. 4th A.C. Featherston’s [CS] attack was delayed by skirmishers while Wood deployed his 4 regts. to meet it ~ a counter-assault that drove the Mississippians up the slope. An attempt to penetrate the Fed. line between Wood & Kimball was prevented by the 73d & 55th Ohio regts.
Driven to & S. of the road, Featherston made an effort to dislodge Wood’s troops from rail barricades there, but lack of support on his left and right forced his withdrawal.
Marker is on Ardmore Road 0.1 miles south of Collier Road, on the right when traveling south.
