Text of marker: "FIELD'S MILL & FERRY. May 16, 1864. Butterfield's (3d) div., 20th A.C., [Federal] instead of crossing at McClure's Ferry 2 mi. downstream, sought to gain time by moving to Field's - reaching here 11 p.m. Not until noon of the 17th was it across. Schofield, prevented from crossing his corps (23d) [Federal] at McClure's, moved the 1st & 2d divs. to Field's, arriving here early the 17th - as did Cox's (3d) div., which had marched via Tilton & Holley. With Butterfield at Field's, Schofield's A.C. (the left wing of Sherman's advance from Resaca), was held up 24 hrs. because of the erratic moves of the 20th Corps. 064-23 GEORGIA HISTORICAL COMMISSION 1959" - External Identifiers:
