July 22, 1864. Gen. George Maney´s division (Hardee´s A.C.) [Confed.] attacked the front of Giles Smith´s div., 17th A.C. [Union] posted on Flat Shoals Road (Leggett´s Hill to Glenwood), while Cleburne´s div. attacked it from the rear. This forced the withdrawal of Smith the s. slope of Leggett´s Hill where he occupied a 2nd line extending eastward from Leggett´s position.
Cleburne & Maney, following up their advantage, were aided by Stevenson´s division (Cheatham´s A.C.) [Confed.] from the city fortifications. Repeated attacks, front, flank & rear, by the three Confederate divisions failed to dislodge the 2 divisions. of the 17th A.C. -- Leggett´s & Smith´s.
