Battle of Utoy Creek


Federal siege operations not only involved the encircling line of Atlanta's defenses, but threatened the two railroads South West of the city. Pursuant thereto, Federal forces after the battle of Ezra Church, were shifted South only to be confronted by a line of Confederate works West of and parallel; to the railroads.

Blocking the southward drift, Bate's division of Hardee's A.C. [Confederate] was posted on a ridge west of the main line and South of Sandtown Road August 6, 1864: Cox's division, 23d A.C. [USA], moving from north of the road vainly attempted to dislodge bate, who withdrew only when outflanked by Hascall's division. Cascade Avenue was the old Sandtown Road.
