On May 18, 1864, Maj. Gen. J.D. Cox's 3d Division of the 23d A.C. (US), marching south from Field's Mill on the Coosawattee River by way of Cash, took the direct road to Sonora. After moving south four miles, the division turned west on the Fairmount-Adairsville road to Mosteller's Mills near Folsom, where it camped that night. Hovey's and Judah's divisions marched from the Phillip's farm at Dew's Lake near Cash on the direct road to Mosteller's, where they joined Cox's division. Schofield's 23d Corps (US) formed the left flank of Sherman's army as it moved south from Resaca on a wide front toward Cassville and Kingston.
