This cabin formerly stood in Perry Field on the Federal right and in the
immediate front of the last Union line established on Sunday afternoon,
the first day of the battle. The battle-scarred logs reveal that it
stood in the midst of heavy fighting. Of the many cabins on the field at
the time of the battle, this is the only survivor.
The cabin was moved to the present location, a few weeks after the
battle, to replace one that was burned during the engagement.
