Caption: Cavalry Battlefield
Additional Description: Looking northwest from the tablet location. General Custer led Michigan cavalry regiments from his brigade across the fields here to engage Confederates who had advanced from the north. The guns of Randol's battery supported Custer's charge, from a distance. The focus of the colliding cavalry was the slight rise in the distant center, where the Michigan monument stands. The buildings to the right are the location of the Jacob Lott house and farm at the time of the battle.
