The U.S. 19th Corps, expecting an attack from the west or southwest, dug trenches along these trails, but the Confederate attack came from the southeast. In the confusion, Federal soldiers turned around to defend their position. Quickly overwhelmed, the Federals retreated toward Belle Grove Plantation. The 128th New York Infantry's monument at the south end of this trail honors some of the men who defended these earthworks.
