Year Erected: 1953

Marker Text: May 19, 1864: Butterfield's (3d) Div., 20th A.C. [USA], moving S.E., from McDow's, left the road here & marched to the Hawkins Price house, enroute to Kingston.

The 1st & 2nd Divs.[USA], on roads W., had the same objective - an erratic move by Sherman, who assumed that Johnston's Army [CSA] had retreated on Kingston.

Butterfield's march disclosed that Johnston's Army was at Cassville, not Kingston. The 23rd A.C. (Schofield) [USA] marched on this road from McDow's, reaching Cassville at dark.
