Long Description:
On March 20, 1863, a brigade of the Union infantry took a position on this ridge and held off repeated attacks by General John H. Morgan's Confederate calvary. The 1500 Federals, under the command of Colonel Hall, inflicted heavy casualties on the 2000 attacking Confederates. Morgan withdrew late in the afternoon as Federal enforcements arrived from Murfreesboro. Local citizens buried the Confederate dead in a small grove near the community. Federal losses were light.
