Manigault's Brigade
July 22, 1864. Manigault´s brigade, Brown´s div., Cheatham´s A.C. (Confederate) attacked this sector where Martin´s & Lightburn´s brigades were posted astride the Decatur rd. & the Ga. R.R. cut.
Manigault´s troops broke the Federal line at the cut, thereby forcing the withdrawal of Lightburn & Martin from this sector of the intrenched line of Logan´s 15th corps.
A counter-assault by Lightburn & Martin, together with Mercy´s 16th A.C. brigade (brought up from the battlefield area S. of the R.R.), recovered the Federal line & the DeGress battery which Manigault´s men had seized but had not been able to remove.
