Text of marker: "THE MARCH OF HARDEE'S CORPS, MAY 23-25, 1864. Lt. Gen. Hardee's A.C. [CSA], having marched from Stegall's Station (Emerson) near the Etowah River & camped at the Dr. Smith house, May 23rd, passed New Hope Church on the 24th, enroute to the Dallas front. This moving left flank of Gen. J. E. Johnston's army [CSA] sought to checkmate the right of Sherman's army [Federal] marching from Kingston in a wide circuit via Van Wert to Dallas. Hood's corps [CSA], following Hardee's from the Etowah, reached New Hope Church, May 25, in time to intercept Hooker's troops [Federal] in their move toward this position. 110-16 GEORGIA HISTORICAL COMMISSION 1953" - External Identifiers:
