provided by the National Park Service, the marker is a, “1'6" x 1'6" x 3' high granite obelisk with a raised letter inscription. Marks unit's position 300 yards east of the Brotherton Cabin on September 19, 1863, at 4:30 p.m."

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).”
