On May 23-24, 1864, Lt. Gen. Leonidas Polk´s Corps [CS] marched from Allatoona, Bartow Co., to Dallas, Paulding Co., passing Lost Mountain Post Office.
On June 4-5, Polk´s Corps withdrew from the Dallas-New Hope front to Lost Mtn., the position here being the Left Flank of Johnston´s first Kennesaw Line.
On the 9th, Polk´s corps was shifted eastward to the vicinity of New Salem Church north of the Burnt Hickory Rd., where it formed the center of the line. This shift was a necessary move in the extension of Johnston´s Line eastward of the State R.R., because of the arrival of the Federal 17th Corps on his right flank.
