Stevenson's Line

Whitfield County · dedicated 2001 · At 2209 Crow Valley Road in Dalton.

During demonstrations on Rocky Face & in Crow Valley, by 4th and 23rd. Army Corps troops, the northern line of Dalton's defense works crossed the road here. Stevenson's div. (Hood's Army Corps) held this sector, his left at Cheatham's line, at Signal Station on Rocky Face; his right, at Ault's Creek, E. May 9, 1864. Stevenson's men repulsed the 23rd Army Corps in Crow Valley, & the desperate attempt by Harker's and Wagner's brigades, Newton's Division 4th Army Corps, to break the left of Stevenson at & near the top of Rocky Face, where Pettus' & Brown's brigades were posted behind stone breastworks that are still there.
