- RIGHT OF 15 CORPS [USA]
July 28, 1864. This marks the extreme
right of Howard's Army of the Tennessee during the Battle of
Ezra Church. Lightburn's brigade of H. L. Smith's div., Logan's
A. C., occupied the immediate sector. From here the line ran
S. E. to a salient angle (Laurel Avenue at Archer) where it turned
N. E. to and beyond Ezra Church. The battle began with an assault
by Brown's 4 brigades of S. D. Lee's A. C. [CSA] endeavoring
to roll up the Federal rt. Failing to dislodge Logan, the Confederates
made another attempt in this same area with Walthall's division
of Stewart's A. C. - - the results were similar.
