July 17, 1864.

Logan and Blair came this way from the road-fork and camped here on N. bank of Nancy's Creek. Garrard's cavalry was E. ~ his left at Buchanan's (Hightower Trail & Buford Highway). Thus, the entire Federal army (consisting of seven corps) was posted along the creek in a concave line from Pace's Ferry (Chattahoochee River) to the Hightower Trail.
