The battlefield is located off State Hwy 81 in Macon County. I really don't feel it appropriate to pen it down any more than that, especially on this medium. There is a map, taken from the Atlas of the Official Records of the Rebellion on my website which shows the location of Chehaw Station in relation to some present day towns which can be located easily.

I think it might be worthwhile to mention that I have met Dr. Evans and I played a very minor part in helping him establish the identity of an hitherto unknown Union soldier who was a casualty of the battle at Chehaw Station. Much to his credit, utilizing information uncovered during the course of his research for "Sherman's Horsemen", he has successfully identified the remains of two Union cavalry men lost during Rosseau's Raid. These men were reburied at the Marietta National Cememtery after the war as unknowns. Two others have also been narrowed down but not positively identified as to person. Gathering his evidence he was able to convince the Veterans Administration of the identities of these men and have their markers changed. All of this required much attention to detail, patience and work on David's part which would be to lenghty to relate here but is nothing short of impressive. Alot of other folks that I don't know personally helped him as well. However I am proud to have been able to point him towards a death certificate signed by the surgeon of Camp Watts for one of the prisoners which established the soldiers identity beyond doubt for the VA allowing them to change his marker. The soldiers name was Pvt. William Britt, Co. M, 5th Iowa Cavalry he was from Kilmoyer Parish, Ireland. David also invited me to participate in the cemermony at Marietta in which the markers were placed. A descendent of twelve Confederate veterans, I donned the blue and served in the honor guard. This was on June 25, 1999. It even made the AP and the evening news. Serendipity, I love it.

David also identified and marked the grave of a Confederate casualty of another of the raids over in Georgia. The last time I talked to him, which was some time ago, he was working on leads for another.

If you have never read "Sherman's Horsemen - Union Cavalry Operations in the Atlanta Campaign" I heartily recommend it.
I would love to go on explaining all the finer points of what Dr. Evans did but that's enough for now. The best I can do for him is "Buy or at least read his book!!".
