1. 10th Ohio Infantry. Marker

Inscription. 10th Ohio Infantry.

This regiment was attached to the headquarters of the Army of the Cumberland, together with the First Battalion Ohio Sharpshooters, the Pioneer Brigade, the First Michigan Engineers, and the Signal Corps.

Location. 35° 1.695′ N, 85° 15.478′ W. Marker is in Chattanooga, Tennessee, in Hamilton County. Marker is on South Crest Road 0.1 miles south of Rosemont Drive, on the right when traveling south. Click for map. In order to view this historical marker one must find a way to get to the crest of Missionary Ridge. The options to use in ascending Missionary Ridge are limited and difficult to locate if you are not familiar with the area. From downtown Chattanooga, I drove east to Missionary Ridge on Main Street, and using Main Street took me to the top of Missionary Ridge. Once at the top of Missionary Ridge I needed to make a series of three right turns to get on South Crest Street. From there one should travel north on South Crest street for approximately 0.6 miles and you will find the Ohio Reservation on your left. This particular historical marker is in the row of markers that line the right side property line of the Ohio Reservation. Marker is in this post office area: Chattanooga TN 37404, United States of America.
