Major Gen. W.T. Sherman's Headquarters May 19-23, 1864 Sherman [USA] occupied the Hargis house for three days of reorganization of forces in the campaign that ended at Atlanta. Assuming that Johnston's army [CSA] had moved, from Adairsville, directly on Kingston & the river crossings S., May 18, led Sherman to concentrate his forces here-- only to discover that Johnston had gone directly to Cassville where, without making a stand, he retreated to Allatoona, May 20th. Sherman countered May 23, by moving due S.

What that marker records spans 1777 to 1789, overlapping William Gabby's years there.
