On July 22, 1864, Hardee’s A.C., (CS), consisting of four divisions and en route north to the rear of Federal forces in east Atlanta, halted here at dawn to procure guides for a wilderness march ahead. Hardee, his staff, and general officers rode to Wm. Cobb’s house, still standing, a short distance southwest, where Wm. Cobb of Cobb’s Mill and the miller, Case Turner, agreed to serve as guides. Cobb rode with Cleburne and Maney of Cheatham’s old division, and Turner with Walker and Bate. Irving Buck, in “Cleburne and His Command,” cites the halt at Cobb’s Mill, but the identity and services of the guides rest solely on Case Turner’s statements to J.W. McWilliams.
