Route of Stewart's Corps from Atlanta
Gen. Alex P. Stewart's A.C. and the GA. Militia
remained in Atlanta after Hardee's and S.D. Lee's
corp (CSA) were shifted to Jonesboro Aug.30, 1864.
With Hardee's defeat at that place Aug. 31,
Atlanta was abandoned, night of Sept. 1. Stewart's
A.C. and Militia left the city after destroying
81 carloads of munitions and several locomotives
on the tracks of the Georgia Railroad.
Stewart's Corp and the Militia marched via the
McDonough Rd. (Capitol Ave)- the former to Lovejoy's
Sta. (below Jonesboro) to rejoin Hardee,
the later to Griffin. Atlanta was surrendered to the
Federals by Mayor Calhoun Sept. 2nd.
