Inscription. Here, at New Hope Church,
Confederate and Federal
armies engaged
in a desperate battle
as the former blocked
the way to Atlanta,
key industrial center
of the Confederacy.
Sherman again outflanked
the Confederates
and the two armies moved
to renew the struggle
at Kennesaw Mountain.

Erected by National Park Service, Department of the Interior.
