Text of marker: "DISPUTED PASSAGE. July 19, 1864. The 1st crossing of Peachtree Cr., by Federal 14th A.C. troops, was at the junction of Green Bone Cr., 3/4 mi. N. of here. Two regts. of Dilworth's brigades (Davis' div.), crossing on a log, were at once assailed by skirmishers of Reynolds' & Adams' brigades of Stewart's A.C. which guarded the S. bank from Howell's Mills to Nancy's Cr. With the entire brigade across, Dilworth moved S. to this hill where a sharp, if brief, engagement resulted in heavy loses on both sides. July 20. Quarles' brigade relieved Reynolds, who moved E. to Howell Mill Rd. where he participated in the Battle of Peachtree Creek. 060-66 GEORGIA HISTORIC MARKER 1988" - External Identifiers:
