Lick Skillet Road
A winding dirt road of the 1860's which passed
Erza Ch. (S.E. cor. Mozley Park), and continued S.W.
to Gordon Terrace, where it joined Gordon Road and Westward
to a cross road settlement called Lick Skillet, now know as
Adamsville. The road, Mozley Drive, did not exist in 1864.
Lick Skillet Road is cited frequently in reports, both ,
Confederate and Federal, as are 2 other landmarks of the
battlefield: Erza Church and Alms House. The latter stood
the present Gate House of the West View Cemetery.
The battle of Erza Church began with the advance of
S.D. Lee's A.C. (deployed E. and W. of the Alms House)
northward across Lick Skillet Road.
