Marker Text: July 22, 1864.  Harrow's 4th div. (composed of Walcutt's, Oliver's & Williams' brigades), 15th A.C. (US) occupied this sector between Leggett's Hill & the Ga. R. R., which was the outer Confederate line until abandoned that morning.

When Coltart's & Benton's brigades of Brown's div. Cheatham's A.C. (CS) assaulted this sector, Oliver's & Williams' troops gave way under a like pressure that broke Morgan's Smith's line at the railroad, only to return at Harrow's command & re-possess it in a resurgent wave that restored it & the broken section north-ward.  This action is featured in the Cyclorama of the Battle of Atlanta in Grant Park.
