From the 1996 historical marker:
RINGGOLD GAP, November 27, 1863
After the Battle of Missionary Ridge, Bragg's Confederate Army retreated in disorder
toward Dalton. Brig. Gen. Patrick R. Cleburne was ordered ot take position in the gap,
hold back the Federals, and save the trains and artillery from capture.
Exercising his only independent command, Cleburne utilized the terrain and his well-
trained troops to hold up Federal pursuit for five precious hours. The trains and
artillery were saved. By Joint resolution, the Confederate Congress thanked Cleburne
for his achievement.
