BAIRD'S DIV., 14TH A. C.
Aug. 30, 1864. Davis' 14th A. C. [US], having moved from Red Oak to
Shoal Creek Ch., was divided into 2 columns when marching
therefrom to the Fayetteville Rd. (Highway 139),
Morgan's & Carlin's divs. went S. E. by a winding road
to the Evans farm (below Riverdale). Baird's div. moved
N. E. from Shoal Creek Ch., on this, the Flat Shoals Rd.
where, at this crossroads, the march of Wood's & Kimball's
divs. (4th A. C.) S. E. from the Marcus Long house was
halted till Baird could make the turn southward.
Baird's div. was aligned on the Fayetteville Rd., from here S. to
Couch's (at Riverdale) where it rejoined Morgan & Carlin, at
Evans' farm.
