Year Erected: 1957

Marker Text: On November 16, 1864, Murray's brigade of Kilpatrick's cavalry [US] struck the advance of Iverson's cavalry [CS] at Lovejoy's Station, 4 miles North and drove it south to Bear Creek Station (Hampton), 1 mi. E, where Iverson halted to reform his smaller command.

At noon, Atkins' brigade took the lead. Upon his approach, Iverson posted his men hastily behind light rail barricades; but Atkins charged with the 10th Ohio Cavalry in advance, broke through the flimsy defenses, captured 20 prisoners, and drove Iverson toward Griffin (11 mi. S).
