Text of marker: "THE ORPHAN BRIGADE AT DALLAS. May 28, 1864. On ridge W., were the intrenched lines of the 1st div., 15th A.C. & the 2d div., 16th A.C. [USA]; beyond ravine E., the lines of Bate's div. of Hardee's corps [CSA]. Late afternoon, Lewis' Ky. (Orphan) & Finley's Florida brigades, [CSA] made a desperate assault across the ravine & scaled the high ground W. - the Orphans in the advance - their losses, 51 per cent because of failure to receive orders to withdraw. This futile attempt by the Ky. Orphans is one of the notable instances of heroism & disaster in the Atlanta Campaign. 110-13 GEORGIA HISTORICAL COMMISSION 1953" - External Identifiers:
