Sept. 1, 1864. Gen. S. D. Lee's A. C., withdrawn from Jonesboro after the battle Aug. 31, camped in this vicinity enroute northward via the McDonough Rd., to aid Stewart's A. C. [CS] in Atlanta if attacked by Federals at East Point. Learning of Hardee's defeat at Jonesboro the 31st, Hood abandoned Atlanta; Stewart & the militia moved out the McDonough Rd. night of Sept. 1.

Sept. 2. Lee, his march resumed, met Stewart & the militia coming southward -- the former to Lovejoy's -- the latter to Griffin. To cover this withdrawal, Lee continued his march northward until halted at South River, six miles from Atlanta, countermarching to Lovejoy's Sept. 3.

I will of course, unless it is the usual, beer cans, condom wrappers and shopping buggy carts.

That's a lot of ground to cover. Good luck on your adventure! Keep us posted.

Went to a small skirmish area this morning at Sweetwater Creek and Riverside Parkway. Nice clean woods but found nothing except for barb wire and modern bullets. Have 4 more areas to go to in the coming days. Will post anything worthy found.
