March to Pickett's Mill
Does anyone know the route taken, and by which Division,etc, the Union Army took from it's march from Allatoona in Bartow County (south of Cassville in today's Emerson) to New Hope and Pickett's Mill? I live in a rural neighborhood that lies on Pumpkinvine Creek, on the corners of Cobb, Paulding, and Bartow Counties. There are breastworks overlooking a large field a few hundred yards from my home, where I have found a couple of minor relics such as coffee pot holders -things you might find on a picket line. I would be very interested to know specifically whose troops may have been camped in my back door during this time. For anyone familiar with the area, this is Dabb's Bridge Rd. crossing Pumpkinvine Creek.
Thanks, Wesley Gann
