Caption: Hofmann's Brigade in Reserve
Additional Description: Looking southeast from across the highway from the marker. Hofmann's Brigade, of which the 7th Indiana was a part, remained here in support of a heavy artillery concentration near the Joseph Poffenberger farm through most of the battle. The Brigade was aligned roughly parallel to the road along the fence line. The threat to the Federal lines here was Confederate cavalry under Fitzhugh Lee supported by 20 guns of the horse artillery which operated on the ground around Nicodemus Heights to the west.
