A blue US Government battle tablet at Craven's House explains the contributions of Osterhaus's Division, Blair's Corps to the larger battle of Lookout Mountain, outside of Chattanooga TN.

This tablet is located near the Iowa Monument, and reads as follows:

"OSTERHAUS’ DIVISION, BLAIR’S CORPS
Brig. Gen. Peter J. Osterhaus
Nov. 24, 1863
1st Brigade, Brig. Gen. Charles R. Woods
2nd Brigade, Col. James A. Williamson

Early on the 24th, the division took position on the left of Hooker’s lines on and behind the hills west of Lookout Creek and in the vicinity of and below the railroad bridge. Preparations for crossing the creek were completed at 10 a.m. Woods brigade, the first to advance, moved within its left on the River Road and was in action east of this point. As Williamson’s regiments arrived from duties to which they had been assigned at the bridges, they were sent in part to the assistance of General Geary on the extreme right under the palisades and in part to strengthen Woods’ line. General Osterhaus’ troops continued to act with the front lines until the withdrawal of the Confederates at 2 a.m. of the 25th."
