On May 16, 1864, Williams’ 1st and Geary’s 2d divisions of the 20th Army Corps crossed the Coosawattee at McClure’s Ferry near Pine Chapel, and on the night of the 17th reached this crossroads, where Buschbeck’s brigade of Geary’s division camped on the Peters plantation. These troops, together with the 4th and 14th Corps on the Atlanta road 1 mile west, were part of the Army of the Cumberland and formed the center of Sherman’s southward advance from two days of battle at Resaca. The 4th and 14th Corps marched to Kingston; the 20th to Cassville.
