On September 17, 1862, at 3 p.m., the First Battalion of the Fourteenth U.S. Infantry of the Fifth Army Corps, commanded by Capt. W. Harvey Brown, crossed the Antietam at the Middle Bridge, advanced on this road to this point, and formed on the hill and in the ravine south of this tablet, with the battalion's right resting on this road. At dusk, Companies F and G deployed as skirmishers, advanced about 200 yards to Sherrick's Lane, formed on the right of the Second and Tenth U.S. Infantry, and engaged the enemy. The battalion was withdrawn at dark and recrossed the Antietam.
