On July 22, 1864, Harrow’s 4th Division, composed of Walcutt’s, Oliver’s, and Williams’ brigades of the 15th Army Corps, occupied the sector between Leggett’s Hill and the Georgia Railroad, which had been the outer Confederate line until it was abandoned that morning. When Coltart’s and Benton’s brigades of Brown’s division, Cheatham’s Army Corps, assaulted this sector, Oliver’s and Williams’ troops gave way under pressure like that which broke Morgan Smith’s line at the railroad, but they returned at Harrow’s command and re-possessed the position in a resurgent wave that restored it and the broken section to the north.
