Text of marker: "RINGGOLD GAP November 27, 1863. After the battle of Missionary Ridge, Bragg's Confederate Army retreated in disorder toward Dalton. Brig. Gen. Patrick R. Cleburne was ordered to take position in the gap, hold back the Federals, and save the trains and artillery from capture. Exercising his only independent command, Cleburne utilized the terrain and his well-trained troops to hold up Federal pursuit for five precious hours. The trains and artillery were saved. By Joint Resolution, the Confederate Congress thanked Cleburne for his achievement. 023-16 GEORGIA HISTORIC MARKER 1996" - External Identifiers:
