There are two historical markers at this road side pull out, each describing an engagement on September 10, 1863. One marker names the skirmish as the Battle of Bayou Fourche; the other, as the Battle of Little Rock. During this engagement a Union force of about 15,000 defeated Confederate defenders numbering about 7,750. The Confederates held strong defensive positions in this area on the north side of the river, but were dislodged by artillery and withdrew to Little Rock. The city fell soon afterwards.
This small plaque, set in memory of the combatants, is set in front of the "Battle of Little Rock" marker. The text is:
