On Nov. 17th, the Right Wing of Gen. Sherman's army [US] marched from McDonough to Jackson, enroute to Planter's Factory on Ocmulgee River where it was to cross next day. To relieve congestion on the Jackson road, Smith's division, 17th Corps with the 1st Missouri Engineers and a pontoon train, moved E from McDonough on Key's Ferry Road. That night, Smith camped near Worthville.

Next day, the bridge train moved through Iron springs to Planter's Factory (12 miles SE). By one o'clock, two bridges been laid and the troops and trains of the Right Wing were crossing into Jasper County on their destructive March to the Sea.
