to 4:30 P.M. this Regiment, Major George
I. Perkins commanding, was engaged about
600 yards East of the Brotherton House.

formed in this position, which it also

nan's Division to Snodgrass Hill made
it necessary to take a more refused
position facing South.

I used the "Chickamauga Battlefield" map, that I purchased at the Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park, Visitor Center, to determine both the monument number for this marker and the marker's location in relation to the rest of the park's monuments, markers, and tablets. According to the map it provides the, "numerical listing of all monuments, markers, and tablets on the Chickamauga Battlefield (using the Chick-Chatt NMP Monument Numbering System)."
