Ushering in the new year with a visit to the battlefield. Started at first light at the intersections of Jay's Mill Road, Reed's Bridge Road, and the Brotherton Road. I photographed the following tablets in this area:

  • Huwald's Tennessee Battery
  • Pegram's Division
  • Davidson's Brigade
  • Polk's Brigade
  • Johnson's Provisional Division
  • Dibrells' Brigade
  • Forrest's Calvary Corp                 
I continued down Jay's Mill Road toward Alexander's Mill Road and encountered the following tablets:
  • Deshler's Brigade
  • Wood's Brigade
  • Cleburne's Division
  • Walker's Division
A trip west on the Brotherton Road from jay's Mill Road brought me to a series of five-sided monuments stretching through the thick woods. I walked the trail to photograph monuments marking the location of the following on the morning of September 19, 1863:

  • 10th Georgia Calvary
  • 6th Georgia Calvary
  • 1st General Calvary
  • 25th Georgia 
  • 29th Georgia Calvary

Other markers in the general location included Liddell's Brigade, Walthall's Brigade, Wilson's Brigade, and Fowler's Battery. 

My final survey was along the the Viniard-Alexander Road. Tablet's surveied included the following:

  • Liddell's Division
  • Walker's Reserve Corp
  • Johnson's Division
  • Longstreet's Corps
  • Hood's Division
  • McNair's Brigade
  • Buckner's Corp
  • Robertson's Brigade
  • Hood's Division
