4. HIGHEST PEAK OF THE BATTLE RIDGE.

This spot marks the southwestern end of Ferguson’s battle position,

which extended the entire length of the ridge. The Centennial Monument

erected in 1880 to commemorate the American patriots who defeated

Ferguson is also located at this point. It is placed upon ground that

was overrun by the men of Shelby, Sevier, and Campbell who, by their

gallantry, forced Ferguson’s troops to retire toward the British

campsite.
