SITE: THE MANN HOUSE

Some 400 ft. S. on this ridge stood the antebellum farm house of
John A. Mann (1828-1904). It is cited in reports & dispatches of
the movement of the 4th A. C. [US] from Red Oak to the Macon
R. R. at Rough & Ready. Aug. 30, 1864, the 4th A. C., on reaching
the crossroads at noon, drove the Confederate cav. N. E. on the
Flat Shoals Rd. toward Thames' Mill, then camped in this area:
Newton's div. N. E. of house; Kimball's & Wood's at crossroads
just west of it.

Aug. 31. The 4th, having been joined by the 23d, resumed the march
N. E. & together they cut the railroad at & below Rough &
Ready while the 1st battle of Jonesboro was in progress.
