1.5 miles from Winstead Hill, on the left, is a marker for the where the advancing Confederates encountered their first resistance. Colonel Conrad’s and Colonel Lane’s Federal brigades were placed east and west of the pike as a forward defense line. The massive Confederate charge overran the position and the Federals became intermingled with the Confederates in a race toward the main line.
