With the occupation of Marietta by Federal forces July 3, 1864, Garrard's cav. was sent to Roswell to secure a Chattahoochee River crossing for the passage of McPherson's Army of the Tennessee, which was later shifted from the Federal right to the extreme left. July 5. Garrard reached this point on Willeo Creek, where he camped. From here a regiment was sent to burn the Soap Creek Paper Mills. On the same day a detachment moved to Roswell & while the 7th Pa.
