(3-96) Fort Garrott from Hovey's left approach. NPS Tour Guide: On June 17 Confederate soldiers of Col. Isham W. Garrott's 20th Alabama Regiment suffered great casualties here from the fire of Federal sharpshooters. Garrott, exasperated at the damage being inflicted on his men, picked up a rifle-musket to return the fire. He was shot though the heart and died without learning that he had been promoted to brigadier general
