On November 24, 1863, during the fighting for Lookout Mountain, which took place on the side of the mountain rather than the top, this position along the West Brow was held by the 18th and 20th Tennessee Infantry. Composed largely of men from Davidson, Rutherford and Williamson Counties, the two regiments were combined after the Battle of Chickamauga. This site stands on the Tennessee-Georgia line, which was surveyed in 1817 by a party of representatives of both states.
