of Confederates, and fell back. Sher
man then moved his whole army
through Snake Creek Gap, forcing the
evacuation of Dalton by Johnston, who
retired to Resaca.
Then ensued the three days’ battles
at Resaca, which ended by Sherman’s
sending a column southward and se
curing possession of Lay’s (or Tanner’s)
Ferry, which movement exposed Cal
houn, a station on the railroad south
of Resaca, to Federal occupation, and
forced the evacuation of Resaca by
Johnston.
The Confederates retreated to Cass
ville, having, however, a sharp little
combat with the pursuing Federals at
Adairsville.
Hood’s failure to obey Johnston’s
orders defeated the latter’s plan for
striking with his whole army one half
ofSherman’s east of Kingston, the Fed
erals in pressing the pursuit being di-

After spii ited and heavy cannonad
ing and noisy musketry firing between
the advanced lines of the two armies at
Cassville, the Confederates abandoned
their intention ol having a general en
gagement at this position, and fell
back south of the Etowah river, infor
mation being received that Sherman’s
forces were moving south west ward via
Euharlee and Stilesboro.
d'hen began the New Hope Church
series of battles. There was desper
ate fighting in this vicinity for several
days in May, which ended in the Fed
erals flanking the Confederates out of
Allatoona, and securing possession of
that “natural fortress,” as General
Sherman t< rms it, and which also en
abled them to restore railroad com
munications with Chattanooga over
the Western & Atlantic Railroad.
Johnston then retired to a new po
i sition, his left wing resting on Lost
