The Union's 19th Corps, expecting an attack from the south, dug trenches along this trail, but the Confederate attack came from the east, and in the confusion Union soldiers were ordered to the other side to defend their position. Overwhelmed, the Union troops retreated within an hour toward Belle Grove Plantation. The 128th New York honors some of the men who defended these earthworks.
