Text of marker: "GARRARD & LIGHTBURN TO STONE MOUNTAIN. The principle object of the wide swing of Federal forces S.E. from Roswell, where they crossed the Chattahoochee, was to cut the Ga. R.R. at & near Stone Mtn., thereby isolating Atlanta from the east. Pursuant to plan, Logan's 15th A.C. was posted at Browning's Courthouse (TUCKER) as support to Garrard's cav. in its move on the R.R. between Stone Mountain and Decatur. Lightburn's brigade, of Logan's corps, moved on this road with Garrard's cav., July 18, 1864, to Stone Mountain - their progress resisted & impeded by Wheeler's Cavalry all the way. 044-15 GEORGIA HISTORICAL COMMISSION 1954" - External Identifiers:
