Battle of Nashville

On Dec. 16, 1864, Gen. S.D. Lee's Corps, Army of Tennessee, held this right flank of Hood's defense line which ran south along the crest of this ridge. Violent artillery fire and infantry attacks by the corps of Wood and Steedman failed to dislodge the defenders who withdrew only after the collapse of the Confederate left and center in late afternoon. <br> <br> The Historical Commission of Metropolitan Nashville and Davidson County <br> No. 37 Erected 1970 <br>
