Wood's & Newton's Divs. at Peachtree Creek

July 19, 1864. Wood's & Newton's 4th A.C. divs. moving S. from Buckhead to effect crossings at Peachtree Cr. found the bridge burned. Wood improvised one & crossed two brigades which after a sharp contest with Hardee's troops (CS), drove them to the high ground southward. Wood held the bridge-head S. of the creek until relieved at dark by Newton's div. which moved forward the next day to the battlefield of Peachtree Creek near Collier Rd. Wood's div. camped -- night of July 19 -- at Buckhead & the next morning it followed Stanley's route to join Schofield at Pea Vine Cr.
