The battle is considered a Union victory, as it greatly delayed John Hunt Morgan's famous Raid that would later go into Indiana and Ohio.
Various troops were reinterred here, and the monument was placed as the focus point of this small cemetery.
The original monument, which cost $500, was a simple granite obelisk with inscription and a small base.
On June 3, 1911, over 4,000 people from the surrounding counties gathered for Confederate Decoration Day at the monument, with the keynote speakers being ex-Union officers.
