The hospital of the 3rd Division, 14th Corps and the hospital of the 2nd Division, 20th Corps were located in this vicinity.

The wounded from the various divisions engaged in this vicinity including a large number of Confederates were accumulated at this hospital. About 10:30 on the morning of September 20th this hospital became untenable due to the proximity of the enemy. Before its capture as many of the wounded as possible were evacuated via the Rossville Gap to Chattanooga by ambulance, wagon, or on foot.
