Year Erected: 1955

Marker Text: July 19, 1864. Covered by the fire of Geary's 12 guns (US) on the ridge N. of the creek, together with the musketry of a heavy skirmish line, the division pioneers hastily built a foot bridge with timbers previously prepared.

Ireland's Brigade quickly filed across under fire & seized the first ridge S. of the cr. Candy's and Jones' followed Ireland's & cast up an intrenched bridgehead for the night.

By dawn of the 20th, two other bridges were thrown across; roads to them were cut for wagon & artillery and Williams' division crossed. These bridges were used after the war - their ancient remains visible as late as 1913.
