STANLEY'S SECTOR
N.E. of this point (near Highland
School) was the intrenched line held by Federal forces in the
siege of Atlanta, July 22-Aug. 25, 1864. This was the extreme
left of Howard's 4th A.C.; its right flank rested at Tanyard
Branch in Land Lot 107, 17th Dist., north of Grant Field. From
E. to W. were Stanley's, Wood's & Newton's divisions. Stanley's
left joined the rt. of the 23d A.C. near the Augustus Hurt house
where a signal station was located. The 4th A.C. continued to
occupy the same line throughout siege operations after which,
under Stanley's command, it was shifted around the w. side of
Atlanta in the move on Jonesboro.
