PETTIT CREEK
Camp Site, Federal 23d Corps.
Johnston's forces [CSA] retreated southward from Cassville along this road, to Allatoona Mountains, south of the Etowah, May 20, 1864. They were immediately followed by Schofield's 23d Corps, [USA] which encamped in this vicinity. While here, troops of Cox's Div. [USA] were sent to destroy the Cooper Iron Works, (site of Allatoona Dam), May 21-22.
From this camp-site, the corps marched to the Etowah at Milam's Bridge, on 23rd.
