Buckhead (Georgia, United States) (search for this): chapter 19
eft resting near the Pace's Ferry road, and the right covering Atlanta. On the morning of the i9th the dispositions of the enemy were substantially as follows: The Army of the Cumberland, under Thomas, was in the act of crossing Peach Tree creek. This creek forming a considerable obstacle to the passage of an Army, runs in a northeasterly direction, emptying into the Chattahoochee river near the railroad crossing. The Army of the Ohio, under Schofield, was also about to cross east of the Buckhead road. The Army of the Tennessee, under McPherson, was moving on the Georgia Railroad at Decatur. Feeling it impossible to hold Atlanta without giving battle, I determined to strike the enemy while attempting to cross this stream. My troops were disposed as follows: Stewart's Corps on the left; Hardee's in the centre, and Cheatham's on the right, entrenched. My object was to crush Thomas's Army before he could fortify himself, and then turn upon Schofield and McPherson. To do this, Chea

ther flank, the main body of the cavalry on the right under Forrest. Johnston's Division of Lee's Corps also became engaged on the left during the engagement. The line advanced at 4 p. m., with orders to drive the enemy into or across the Big Harpeth river, while General Forrest, if successful, was to cross the river and attack and destroy his trains and broken columns. The troops moved forward most gallantly to the attack. We carried the enemy's first line of hastily constructed works handly in the morning, and which materially checked his movements, enabled us to reach Franklin with but little difficulty. There the enemy appeared in considerable force and exhibited great boldness; but he was repulsed, and the crossing of the Harpeth river effected. I found that there was in the town of Franklin a large number of our own and of the enemy's wounded, and not wishing to subject them and the town to the fire of the enemy's artillery, the place was yielded with but little resistanc

re withdrawn from the trenches and massed on the Lick-Skillet road. On the 28th, about 11 a. m., I received orders to move out on the Lick-Skillet road and check the enemy, who was then moving to our left, as it was desvision, of Stewart's Corps, had moved out on the Lick-Skillet road, while Brown's and Clayton's Divisions wered. The enemy was still within easy range of the Lick-Skillet road, and I believed that he would yield before by extending to his right, had nearly gained the Lick-Skillet road, Loring's and Walthall's Divisions had beenal Lee, commanding corps, was to move out on the Lick-Skillet road, attack the enemy's right flank, and drive he point where our own line of works crossed the Lick-Skillet road. French's Division, when relieved, and onering's Division was placed in position along the Lick-Skillet road, and Walthall directed to withdraw his in rhe Marietta road to a short distance west of the Lick-Skillet road. Nothing of special interest occurred beyo

ad. These operations caused the enemy to move his Army, except one corps, from Atlanta to Marietta, threatening an advance in the direction of our position at Lost Mountain; but not deeming our Army in condition for a general engagement I withdrew it, on the 6th of October, to the westward, continuing to march daily, and crossed tons were freely expressed to the Commanding General. My corps crossed the Chattahoochee river on September 29th, and on October 3d, 1864, took position near Lost Mountain to cover the movements of Stewart's Corps on the railroad at Big Shanty and Allatoona. On October 6th I left my position near Lost Mountain, marching via DallLost Mountain, marching via Dallas and Cedar Town, crossing the Coosa river at Coosaville, October 10th, and moved on Resaca, partially investing the place by 4 p. m., on October 12th. The surrender of the place was demanded in a written communication, which was in my possession, signed by General Hood. The commanding officer refused to surrender, as he could h
