On June 27, 1864, in one of two abortive attempts to break Johnson’s line, three Federal brigades attacked in this area. Deployed on the ridge west of the stream and astride Burnt Hickory Road, they moved east toward the Spur of the mountain, the center of the attack. The left of the charging line entered the gorge between the Spur and Little Kennesaw, while the right swung around the point where the Spur impinges on the road. During the battle, Federal regiments from Missouri fought Cockrell’s Missouri brigade of French’s division, Loring’s Corps, Confederate, posted on Kennesaw Spur.
