July 28. 1864. Anticipating a Confederate attack on the right of the 15th A.C. (USA), aligned W. of Ezra Ch., Sherman sent Davis' div. (14th A.C.), on a circuitous march W., so as to come in on Logan's Rt. via Lick Skillet (Adamsville) Road.
Davis' troops, led by Gen. J D. Morgan, marched toward the Chattahoochee intending to reach Lick Skillet by a side road. Devoid of maps or guides, the column traversed a wilderness of forest and swamps until halted by Confederate cavalry and preemptory orders to return.
Logan´s 15th-hard pressed by Hood's forces-managed to hold on, aided by 12 regiments of the 16th and 17th A.C. aligned along Chapel Road.
