Brigadier General Hiram B. Granbury, born March 1, 1831, died on this field on November 30, 1864. A moment before he fell, he urged his Texans on with the words, “Forward, men, forward! Never let it be said that Texans lag in a fight!” Near this place on November 30, 1864, the men of Granbury’s Texas Brigade of the Army of Tennessee, Confederate States of America, gallantly charged, suffered, died, and gave all for a cause they passionately believed in and which soon was to be forever lost. This lasting tribute honors the 6th, 7th, 10th Texas Infantry Regiments, the 15th, 17th, 18th, 24th, and 25th Texas Cavalry Regiments dismounted, the 5th Confederate Infantry Regiment, and the 35th Tennessee Infantry Regiment.
