Stovall’s Brigade, being the center of Breckinridge’s Division, advanced from a line 400 yards east of this position at 9 o’clock A.M. with Admas’ Brigade on its right, and Helm’s on its left. From this line it advanced to the Lafayette road, encountering a portion of John Beatty’s Brigade of Negley’s Division, and forcing it across the road. The Brigade then changed direction to face south, and, with Admas’ Brigade west of the road, and on its right, advanced toward the Kelly Field.

Note
Trailhead Graphics, Inc. has produced a map of the Chickamauga Battlefield showing the locations of all of the monuments and the markers on the battlefield. Each location on the map has a number associated with it that cross-references to an index on the back of the map that has the name of the marker (called the Chick-Chatt NMP monument numbering system). This number corresponds to the structure Number listed on the NPS List of Classified Structures that is normally prefixed with the letters MT for the Chickamauga Battlefield.
