Marker text:
May 14, 1864. A contingent from Sweeny's (2d) div., 16th A.C.
made a crossing here in pontoon boats, but on a rumor of Confederate
crossings upstream, it withdrew.
May 15. The division, supported by Welker's Artillery, crossed in force &
deployed to meet the immediate attack by Maj. Gen. W.H.T. Walker's div.,
Hardee's A.C., in the area between the George W. Frix house & the Oostanaula
River.
This Federal move on the Confederate left & rear forced Johnston to evacuate
his lines at Resaca.
