Men of the 32nd First German Indiana Regiment lie here after being sacrificed for the free institutions of the Republic of the United States of North America. They fell on December 17, 1861, in an encounter at Rowlett Station in which one regiment of Texas Rangers, two regiments of infantry, and six rebel cannons, in all over 3000 men, were defeated by 500 German soldiers. An added inscription in 1867 remembered them as the first victims of the 32 Reg. Indiana Vol. who fell at the Battle of Rowletts Station.
