These troops operated as a threat to Johnston's lines of communication & retreat from Kennesaw to the Chattahoochee River. Detachments from the 4 Federal corps began aggressive moves from here on Johnston's left & rear as he withdrew from Kennesaw; a column was sent E. to Ruff's Mill on Nickajack Creek & one S. via Mableton & the Mitchell house, toward the river crossings. 033-64 GEORGIA HISTORICAL COMMISSION 1954" - External Identifiers:
