Colonel Ulric Dahlgren, Federal officer, met death in the early morning, March 2, 1864, three hundred yards to the north. After the raid on Richmond, his force bivouaced here and, in breaking camp he fell to the fire of Confederate detachments and Home Defense forces who had gathered during the night. Error: Note that the second sentence of the marker is incorrect, and should read: After the raid on Richmond, his force bivouacked here and, in breaking camp he fell to the fire of Confederate detachments and Home Defense forces who had gathered during the night.
