June 27. Walcutt´s brigade (Harrow´s div.) N. of rd.; G.A. Smith´s div.), moved E. toward Kennesaw Spur where the attack fell upon Gen. S.G. French´s div., (Loring´s A.C.), [CS] & the right of Hardee´s A.C. [CS] just S. of it.
This assault failed to break the Confederate line; a similar one, at Cheatham Hill, 2.5 mi. S., was also devoid of results -- the 2 engagements known as the Battle of Kennesaw Mtn.
