14TH A. C. AT SHOAL CREEK CHURCH
Aug. 29, 1864. The 10th Mich. reg't, in advance of Davis' 14th
A. C. [US], en route from Red Oak to Jonesboro, encountered
Armstrong's & Martin's cav. [CS] posted at the church,
where a spirited delaying action forced the 10th to withdraw.
Aug. 30. The 14th A. C. advanced to the Church & after a brief halt,
moved in 2 columns to the Fayetteville Rd.; Baird's
div. marched N. E. to the Marcus Long house, then S.
to Couch's (at Riverdale on State Highway 139). Morgan's &
Carlin's divs. moved S. E. on a winding road to the Evans
farm (also at Riverdale) where all were aligned along the old
Fayetteville Rd.
