Scott's Brigade

On the high hill 500 yds. S. of Collier Rd. the left of Scott´s brigade (27th, 35th &49th Ala. & 12th La.) Loring´s div. [Confederate] dislodged Geary´s outpost, [Union] the 33d N.J. regt. & captured its flag. Pressing forward, the left of Scott´s line [Confederate] moved toward Geary´s batteries at Collier Rd., while the right of it, diverted by gun-fire, cross Tanyard Branch & the road & continued down the slope N. ~ in effect, flanking Geary´s two batteries 300 yds. westward. This surprise assault by Scott, had it been in greater force, might have driven a wedge in the center of the Federal line; outnumbered, it was driven back S. of the road. 060-37 GEORGIA HISTORIC MARKER 1955 Plaque courtesy Lat34North.com.
