July 22, 1864. Cleburne's 3 brigades, [CSA] after over-running the Federal left (at Glenwood), moved on the rear of its line facing W. on Flat Shoals Rd., at the same time Maney's div. [CSA] attacked its front. Beset on both sides Giles Smith's 17th A.C. div. [USA] was swept N. to Leggett's Hill.

In the move toward Leggett's Hill, Cleburne's troops captured 8 Federal guns of the 2d Ill. & 2d U.S. Artillery. Gen. McPherson [USA] was killed in front of Cleburne's skirmish line.
