June 19, 1864. When Johnston's forces [CS] moved to a third position on the Kennesaw front, the defense works included the mountain. Bearing N.E. & E., the line ran to the Canton rd.; southward, it reached below the Dallas Rd. The left of French's div. (Loring's A.C. [CS], posted on the mtn.) rested on this road, where the right of Hardee's A.C. (Walker's div.) joined. June 27. The left of French & the right of Walker withstood the assaults of 3 Federal brigades ~ moving E. astride this, the Burnt Hickory Rd. ~ in a vain endeavor to break the line here, coincident with a line attempt at Cheatham Hill, 2.5 mi. southward.
