At 10 a.m. Adam's Brigade having routed the troops in its front with its left on the Lafayette Road and Stovall's Brigade in line on its left moved toward the Kelly Field under a constant artillery fire pushing John Beatty's Brigade before it. It next encountered Stanley's Brigade which advanced to the support of Beatty. Finally after having passed beyond the Union left and reaching a point in the woods nearly opposite the center of the Kelly Field it was checked by the assistance of Van Derveer's Brigade, Goodspeed's Battery abd other troops which appeared on its flank in the Kelly Field. Together with Stovall's Brigade it retired to its early position north and east of the Kelly Field.

this marker.
In locating this tablet I used the "Chickamauga Battlefield" map, that I purchased at the Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park, Visitor Center, to determine both the marker number for this tablet and the tablet's location in relation to the rest of the park's monuments, markers, and tablets. According to the map it provides the, "numerical listing of all monuments, markers, and tablets on the Chickamauga Battlefield (using the Chick-Chatt NMP Monument Numbering System).”
