Camp Site, Federal 23d Corps.
Johnston's forces retreated southward from Cassville along this road, to
Allatoona Mountains, south of the Etowah, May 20, 1864.
They were immediately followed by Schofield's 23d Corps, which encamped in
this vicinity. While here, troops of Cox's Div. were sent to destroy the
Cooper Iron Works, (site of Allatoona Dam), May 21-22.
From this camp-site, the corps marched to the Etowah at Milam's Bridge, on
23rd.
