Battle at Moore’s Mill

On July 19, 1864, Morgan’s brigade of Davis’ division, 14th A.C., was posted on the right of Dilworth’s brigade to support his crossing of Peachtree Creek at its junction with Green Bone Creek. Morgan faced destructive fire from Confederate forces on the high bluff south of Moore’s Mill and the creek. That night, the 10th Mich. pickets occupied the mill and destroyed the flume, thereby emptying the millpond. On July 20, Mitchell’s brigade, west of Nancy’s Creek, having outflanked the Confederates on the bluff, forced its evacuation, enabling Morgan’s brigade to cross the creek at the ford and join the rest of Davis’ division.
