This memorial is arguably the oldest surviving Civil War Monument. It was built by the surviving members of the brigade led by Colonel William B. Hazen, shortly after the Battle of Stones River, on the ground they had protected. They held their ground at the "Round Forest," the only brigade not to retreat from their position on December 31, 1862. The regiments making up the 19th Brigade of the Fourth Division were the 41st Ohio Volunteer Infantry, 110th Illinois Volunteer Infantry, 9th Indiana Volunteer Infantry and the 6th Kentucky Volunteer Infantry. Surrounding it are 55 members of the brigade who either were killed in the battle, or died from disease or wounds shortly after.
