Hood´s line [CSA] beginning E. at State R.R. ran W. to point atop ridge (S) where Hardee´s rt. joined it & together with Polk´s Corps, [CSA] the line was prolonged 3 miles S. to the Oostanaula River.
May 13, 1864, Sherman´s forces [USA] 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 [CSA]- 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.
