The record

Stewart's corps held the left of the Confederate outer line, with French, Walthall and Loring from left to right. From the Foster house, near Howell Mill Rd and Bishop St, Stewart issued the orders for the July 20 attack about 1.5 miles north. He stayed here until the army pulled back into the city on the night of July 21. The 1956 marker (060-90) has been reported missing.
