The Face of Battle and a Memory Left in a Monument

  • Chickamauga Battlefield Visitor Center 3370 Lafayette Road Fort Oglethorpe, GA, 30742 United States (map)

Private Henry Clay McKnight of Company G, 11th Ohio Infantry, found himself a prisoner of war on September 20, 1863. After Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park's 1890 establishment, veterans came back to erect a marker to the 11th Ohio just behind the modern-day visitor center. Come here McKnight's story and how to see the face of battle first hand and the memories these soldiers left behind in stone!
