(3-95) Fight for the Round Forest (Old Tour Stop 8). This was the only Union position to hold throughout the first day of the battle. The first Confederate attack came at 10 a.m. across the field on the other side of the Nashville Pike and was broken up by Union artillery. An hour later another charge carried to within 137 meters (150 yards) of the Union line before being stopped. The monument (background) erected in 1863 by the survivors of Col. William B. Hazen's brigade is the Nations oldest Civil War memorial
