Text of marker: "ATTACK BY LEE'S CORPS. Gen. Hood's move to checkmate the Federal foray at Jonesboro on the one remaining railroad entering Atlanta, resulted in two major engagements August 31 & September 1, 1864. Aug. 31. A concerted attack on the Fed. 15th A.C. between the town and Flint River westward, was made by Hardee's & S.D. Lee's corps [CS], the former advancing from below the town the latter, in this sector, above it. Lee's three divisions, Anderson's, Clayton's, & Stevenson's, moved directly on the intrenched front of the Federal forces at the river, but lacking adequate support on their left, Lee's troops were forced to abandon the field. 031-15 GEORGIA HISTORICAL COMMISSION 1956" - External Identifiers:
