Inscription. One of the rare fights across the Cumberland River north of Nashville occurred here when a Confederate force, on the south bank, commanded by Col. John Hunt Morgan shelled the north bank camp of the 31st Ohio Volunteer Infantry. During the shelling they swapped brisk rifle and musket fire. Both sides suffered light casualties. After destroying the Union camp, Morgan withdrew upriver.
