4th & 23d A.C. Advance
Howard´s 4th A.C. was aligned along this ridge (Mt. Veron Rd.) from a point 0.5 mi N.E. of Cross Ch. To 1.5 mi. S.W. at the river. These troops reached the Chattahoochee at Power´s & Isom´s ferries. Hascall´s div. (23d A.C.) was entrenched on Howard´s left (along Mt. Veron Rd.), when both lines were adjusted July 14.

From these environs the 23d A.C. marched via Sandy Springs to Old Cross Keys, July 17; the 4th via Power´s Fy. Rd. to Buchhead July 18.
