On June 19, 1864, Maj. Gen. John A. Logan’s 15th A. C. [US] was deployed astride the old Marietta road, with Smith’s 2d div. northeast of it, Osterhaus’ 1st southwest of it, and Harrow's 4th in reserve. This was the 2d and final sector held by Sherman’s left wing on the Kennesaw Mountain front. Heavy fire from Confederate artillery on the mountain was countered on June 23 by 2 batteries of Rodman and Parrott guns erected by Osterhaus on the hill just west, where the excavations were still visible. On June 25 and 27, Logan’s troops, shifted southwest to the Burnt Hickory Rd., relieved the 14th A. C. and assaulted the lower end of the mountain.
