Enroute to Jonesboro

Aug 26, 1864. The Federal Army of the Tenn.,
(15th, 16th and 17th corps) enroute to Fairburn
and Jonesboro, camped on and near, the Wilson
plantation. Gen. John A. Logan (15th A.C.) had
headquarters at the Judge Wm. A. Wilson residence.
The 4th, 14th and 23rd A.C. marched by other roads.
Atlanta siege operations (July 22 - Aug 25) having
failed, the Federals were shifted S. to cut the two
railroads entering from the S.W. This change of base
resulted not only in destruction of the West Point and
Macon railroads, but two days of battle at Jonesboro
and the consequent evacuation of Atlanta (Sep 1st) which
ended the campaign.
