Inscription

On September 25, 1861, Col. Piatt’s Zouaves of the 34th Ohio marched on Confederate positions around Chapmanville. The Logan militia under Col. J. W. Davis harassed Piatt in the hours preceding his arrival at the Rebel entrenchments but was unable to repel the Zouave advance. After Davis fell wounded, his men retreated in disarray.

Col. Davis was captured, then paroled.
