Battle of Ezra Church-Gen. Stewart Wounded

July 28, 1864. Gen. A.P. Stewart, with Walthall's
and Long's divisions of his A.C.(Confederate)reached
left, fared no better than Brown in the same area.

Stewart, riding forward to this hill, learned of
Walthall's failure, but before he could order Loring into
action, he was struck by a spent bullet. Walthall succeeded
Stewart and withdrew his division (under Quarles) and ordered
no further attack by Loring's division.

At 10 PM Hood (Confederate) withdrew the troops to Atlanta. This battle was the 3rd attempt, outside the city, to halt
Federal operations against it.
