Inscription. May 19, 1864: Butterfield's (3d) Div., 20th A.C. [US], moving S.E., from McDow's, left the road here & marched to the Hawkins Price house, enroute to Kingston.

The 1st & 2nd Divs. [US], on roads W., had the same objective - an erratic move by Sherman who assumed that Johnston's Army [CS] had retreated on Kingston.

Butterfield's march disclosed that Johnston's Army was at Cassville , not Kingston. The 23rd A.C. (Schofield) [US] marched on this road from McDow's, reaching Cassville at dark.

Erected 1953 by Georgia Historical Commission. (Marker Number 008-19.)
