Tabor Rd. at the entrance to Pickett's Mill Historic SiteText of marker: "BATTLE OF PICKETT'S MILL. After the successful defense at New Hope Church by Hood's Corps [Confed.], May 25, 1864, Johnston [Confed.] extended his right N.E. to keep pace with the Federal leftward shift to outflank him. Elements of the 4th, 14th and 23rd Corps under Maj. Gen. Oliver O. Howard [Union] with over 18,000 men passed this point seeking the extreme right of the Confederate army. The Federal forces attacked a point where the Army of Tennessee's line bent back to the south. The brigades of Hazen, Gibson and Scribner blundered into a deep ravine one-half mile east of here to attack the Confederates under Maj. Gen. Patrick Cleburne. The brigades were defeated one after another in the heavily-wooded ravine where fired upon from three directions. The Confederates were the clear victors of the five-hour battle. The result of the victory was a few days delay in Sherman's [Union] Atlanta Campaign. 110-27 GEORGIA HISTORIC MARKER 1996"image/jpegenghttp://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC-EDU/1.0/Historical markers--Georgia--Paulding CountyBattle of Pickett's Mill historical markerStillImage
