Marker Text*: In 1864 the Old Cheshire Bridge Rd., leading E. from Buckhead generally on the trace of the present E. Pace's Fy. Rd., crossed this area & ran S.E. to N. Fork Peachtree Cr. & beyond.
Howard's 4th A.C. (Federal), marching from Power's Ferry, encamped at Buckhead, July 18.
When it was found that a gap in the Federal line N.E. of Atlanta required additional forces, two divs. of Howard's A.C. were shifted to the left. Stanley's div., July 19, followed by Wood on the 20th, left Buckhead on Cheshire Bridge Rd. & via the old Williams Mill Road (Briarcliff), joined Schofield's 23d A.C.
