- SITE OF OLD ALLATOONA CHURCH
Extreme left of Federal line on
the Dallas - New Hope front where Johnston's & Sherman's
forces had been in daily conflict since May 25, 1864.
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 1 mile, S. W.
Seizure of this road broke the
10-day stalemate & the opposing line shifted East to the
Kennesaw front.
