Photo Gallery: Polk's Line Withdrawn to Resaca
Marker text:
May 14, 1864. After being driven from hills W. of Camp Creek
by troops of the 15th & 16th Corps, Polk's A.C. was ligned on the E. side of
the creek, its center & left posted on a chain of hills S. of this road &
overlooking the creek - its extreme left on the Oostanaula River.
5:30 P.M., the Federals crossed the creek & carried Polk's line, forcing it
E. to a position near U.S. Highway 41. Polk's repeated & unavailing attempts
to recover his line prolonged the battle into the night.
