July 22, 1864. Gen. John Fuller´s only brigade -- Morrill´s, which was in reserve near Leggett´s Hill, was deployed S.E. of here to meet the advance of Walker´s div. [CSA] up Sugar Cr. valley. While so engaged, Cleburne´s 2 brigades -- Govan´s & Smith´s, [CSA] having penetrated the rear of the Federal line on Flat Shoals Rd., assailed the right flank of Morrill´s four regiments, not only forcing repeated changes of front but entire withdrawal to a line extending eastward from Leggett´s Hill.
During this action, the 64th Ill. reg´t. drove back Cleburne´s troops long enough to remove McPherson´s body in the forest where he fell.
