BATTLE OF RINGGOLD GAP AND CONFEDERATE BRIG GEN PATRICK CLEBURNE
Patrick Ronayne Cleburne (/ˈkleɪbɜːrn/ klay-burn; March 17, 1828 – November 30, 1864) was an Irish-born American soldier, best known for his service in the Confederate States Army during the American Civil War, where he rose to the rank of major general.[2]
Born in County Cork, Ireland, Cleburne served in the 41st Regiment of Foot, a Welsh regiment of the British Army, after failing to gain entrance into Trinity College of Medicine in 1846. He emigrated to the United States three years later. At the beginning of the Civil War, Cleburne sided with the Confederate States. He progressed from being a private soldier in the local militia to a division commander. Cleburne participated in many successful military campaigns, especially the Battle of Stones River, the Battle of Missionary Ridge and the Battle of Ringgold Gap. His strategic ability gained him the nickname Stonewall of the West. He was killed in 1864, at the Battle of Franklin.

Stop J: Gen. Sherman's Headquarters during the Battle
Site of Federal General William T. Sherman's field headquarters—the August Hurt House, no longer standing—on the grounds of the present-day Jimmy Carter Presidential Library.
The vantage point from this location provides a panoramic view of downtown Atlanta comparable to the cityscape that Federal Commander Major General William T. Sherman would have seen when he arrived at this high ground on the morning of July 22, 1864. The city's downtown today is in the same location where it was in 1864. Sherman, who commanded the three Union armies advancing on Atlanta, established his temporary headquarters at the Augustus Hurt House, no longer standing, at the eastern edge of today's Carter Library campus.

Marker reads:
200 yds. N.E. stood the plantation residence of Augustus F. Hurt (1830-1921), built 1858 and razed by Federal forces, 1864; erroneously cited in Official Records as the Howard house.
July 22, 1864. 4th & 23d A.C. troops, in line with Federal advances on Atlanta, occupied this hill, having marched via old Williams Mill Rd. Sherman, together with Howard & Schofield, maintained command posts here during the afternoon while McPherson’s Army of the Tennessee fought defensively at & S. of the Ga. R.R. where two of Hood’s corps [CSA] attacked it. Here, McPherson’s body was brought from battlefield enroute to burial at Clyde, Ohio.
