Marker text:
Hood's line, beginning E. at State R.R. ran W. to point atop
ridge (s) where Hardee's rt. joined it & together with Polk's Corps, the
line was prolonged 3 miles S. to the Oostanaula River.
May 13, 1864, Sherman's forces reached the old Dalton-Calhoun rd., W. of
here (via Snake Cr. Gap). On 14th, from ridges W. of Camp Creek, 2 assaults
were made on Johnston's line - one, 2.5 mi. southward - the other in this
vicinity.
In both attacks, the Federals moved across the creek toward ridges on this,
the E. side of the valley.
