HOUSE SITE
THOMAS V.B. HARGIS
Major Gen. W.T. Sherman's Headquarters
May 19-23, 1864
Sherman occupied the Hargis house for three days of reorganization of forces in the campaign that ended at Atlanta.
Assuming the Johnston's army had moved from Adairsville, directly on Kingston & the river crossings S., May 18, led Sherman to concentrate his forces here only to discover that Johnston had gone directly to Cassville where, without making a stand, he retreated to Allatoona, May 20th. Sherman countered May 23, by moving due S.
