Marker text:
July 22, 1864. These troops, with Walker's and Bate's divs.,
Hardee's A.C. made a 15-mi. night march from Atlanta to attack the rear of
McPherson's Army of the Tenn. posted on Flat Shoals Road in East Atlanta.
Cleburne's & Maney's move N.W. up Flat Shoals Rd. struck, not the rear but
the left flank, of the Fed. 17th A.C. where its line bent eastward.
Cleburne's four brigades were deployed on & eastward of the road; Maney's
four brigades, W. of it. The immediate area was heavily wooded. Their attack
was made somewhat later than Walker's and Bate's, 1 mile E. in the valley of
Sugar Creek near Terry's Mill Pond.
