More about this marker. This historical marker features Hazen's Brigade of the Union army, but it makes mention of the 28th Alabama of the Confederate army. Apparently, at one point time, there was a historical marker that featured the 28th Alabama that was situated across the street from the residence at 205 North Orchard Knob Avenue, however, according to the occupant of that said residence, that historical marker was hit and destroyed by a car many years ago and the marker has never been repaired or replaced since that unfortunate event. I have included a picture of the yard across the street from 205 North Orchard Knob Avenue where the historical marker for the 28th Alabama was once located.
