September 2, 1864

Gen. Hood, in person, with Stewart's A.C. & the Georgia Militia abandoned the city, Sept. 1, as a result of Hardee's defeat at Jonesboro August 31, & marched S. to Lovejoy's Station. Federal forces at Chattahoochee River crossings since Aug. 25, suspecting the evacuation of the city on hearing loud explosions, sent forward a reconnaissance to investigate.

At this point it met Mayor James M. Calhoun with a committee, who tendered the surrender of the city, asking protection for citizens and property. Col. John Coburn, vice Maj. Gen. H.W. Slocum, com'd'g 20th A. C., received the surrender.
