Battle of Nashville
(December 16, 1864)
Dec. 15, 1864
During the retreat from Nashville, Colonel Edmund Rucker's brigade attempted to block the Union pursuit by erecting a barricade of fence rails and logs across Granny White Pike, 1/2 mile south of this spot. During the ensuing night attack by Union cavalry, fierce hand-to-hand fighting took place until the position finally was overrun around midnight, with Rucker wounded and then captured.
Erected 2005 by The Historical Commission of Metropolitan Nashville and Davidson County.
