Logan’s Corps Moves to Henderson’s Mill
July 18, 1864. Logan’s troops, having detoured from Shallow Fd. Rd. to Browning’s Court House (TUCKER), to co-operate with Garrard’s cav, in the destruction of the Georgia R.R. at Stone Mtn., remained in this vicinity while Lightburn’s brigade was sent to support Garrard.
When Lightburn returned, Logan withdrew the corps 1.5 mi. W. to Henderson’s Mill where it camped that night.
This withdrawal served two purposes: to make a more compact front for the Army of the Tennessee [US] & to get an adequate supply of water not available at Browning’s.
Marker is at the intersection of Lavista Road (Georgia Route 236) and Midvale Road, on the right when traveling west on Lavista Road.
