Both Corps were ordered by Sherman to concentrate at Kingston & were enroute there in the mistaken belief that Johnston's forces had marched directly from Adairsville to Kingston.

By late afternoon, May 19, Hooker's & Schofield's corps, moving S. from McDow's, discovered Johnston's Army [CSA] at Cassville.
