Darby Plantation
The old Marietta Rd. joined the Sandtown Rd. here -- 1864.
June 17-19. Geary´s (2d) Div., 20th A.C., supporting 13th N.Y. & Pa. E batteries, were N. of rd. & Cox´s (3d) Div. 23d. A.C., supporting 1st Ohio Bat. D. [US] were S. of rd. -- in area from Darby house to Mud Cr.
The artillery duel with Cleburne [CS] on high ridge E. of creek & Geary´s [US] rain-soaked infantry in flooded area next to stream, are a part of the annals.
On 19th, Cleburne [CS] moved E. followed by 20th A.C. 23d A.C. moved S. on this rd. -- a march that broke the Kennesaw stalemate.
