Text on the plaque reads:

Brannan’s Division - Thomas’ Corps.
Brig. Gen. John M. Brannan.
Sept. 19, 1863. 2 to 5 P.M., 2nd Position

1st Brigade	-	Col. John M. Connell.
2nd Brigade	-	Col. John T. Croxton.
3rd Brigade	-	Col. Ferdinand Van Derveer.

After the close of the fighting in the vicinity of Jay’s Mill, Brannan’s division was assembled in this glade, where it remained until nearly 5 o’clock P.M. It was then dispatched to the Dyer Field to assist in restoring the line which had been broken by Stewart’s Division at the Poe and Brotherton places. The appearance of Brannan’s troops in the northern extremity of the Dyer Field, while Negley’s Division was approaching it from the south caused the withdrawal of Stewart’s line. The division bivouacked on the slope west of the Dyer House.
