Marker Text: Here, the intrenched line held by Maj. Gen. J. B. McPherson's Army of the Tenn. [US] crossed the road; erected & occupied May 26 & abandoned June 1, 1864.

These troops were the right of Federal forces on the Dallas-New Hope Ch. Front which had been moved around the Allatoona Mtns by Gen. J. E. Johnston's forces, deployed to oppose the federal move back to the State R.R.

From lines .4 mi. E., Hardee's A.C., of Johnston's Army [US], faced McPherson. Repeated attempts by Hardee to crush the Federals, failed to dislodge them.
