The 21st North Carolina Infantry trailside marker is on the Brawner Farm loop trail at Stop One on the Manassas Battlefield Driving Tour.
Text from the marker:
August 28, 1862
7:15 p.m.
Trimble’s Brigade, Ewell’s Division
Left Wing (Jackson)
Army of Northern Virginia, CSA
21st North Carolina Infantry
Lt. Col. Sanders Fulton
“We halted at this fence, quickly tore it down, and piled the rails in front. It offered us good protection. The Federals were in a gully, or branch, about 100 yards distant. We opened fire on them, but it soon became dark, that we could not see their position, but could only fire at the flashes of their guns, as I suppose they would fire at ours.”
– Capt. James F. Beal
CSA Second Battle of Manassas
