At the Cyrus York house-site, June 10-19, 1864, Gen. J. E. Johnston’s forces [CS] moved from Paulding Co. to the Kennesaw area on June 5 and occupied lines from Lost to Brushy Mtns. On June 16, the left was withdrawn east of Mud Creek. On June 19, all forces shifted to the mountain line, and headquarters moved to the Kirkpatrick house south of the mountain. The advanced Federal line crossed the road several hundred feet west. Between June 19 and 27, the two-story York house, used by Federal sharpshooters, was destroyed by Confederate artillery fire from the mountain.
