20th Corps Detours to New Hope Church
One Half mi. E. The old road from Burnt Hickory
to Dallas joined one leading E. via Pumpkin Vine Bridge
near Owen's Mill to New Hope Church.
May 25, 1864: Geary's (2d), followed by William's (1st)div.,
20th A.C. turned E. when assailed by outposts of Hood's A.C.
which had reached New Hope form Allatoona.
Pressing forward and reinforced by 4th and 23rd A.C.
Geary's assaulted the entrenched line of Hood's A.C
posted in and near the cemetery at New Hope Church - a battle fought in rain and thunderstorm.
