June 3. Hovey's (1st) Div., 23d A. C. [US] drove Armstrong's cavalry [CS] from the road, thereby uncovering right of Confederate line -- Walker's Div., Hardee's Corps -- near the Foster house  1mile, S. W.

Seizure of this road broke the 10-day stalemate & the opposing line shifted East to the Kennesaw front.
