Additional Description: Battery I, 1st U.S. and later the consolidated Batteries A and C, 4th U.S. Artillery occupied positions on the north side of the Smoketown Road. The view here is from the field to the north of the marker location, looking at the high ground along the Smoketown Road where the batteries were in action against Confederates to the west near the Dunker Church. The markers for the two batteries stand in the center distance of the photo near the utility poles.
