HARROW`S DIV. 15TH A.C.

July 22, 1864. Harrow`s 4th div. (composed of Walcutt`s, Oliver`s & Williams` brigades), 15th A.C. [Union] occupied this sector between Leggett`s Hill & the Ga. R.R., which was the outer Confederate line until abandoned that morning.

When Coltart`s & Benton`s brigades of Brown`s div., Cheatham`s A.C. [Confed.] assaulted this sector, Oliver`s & Williams` troops gave way under a like pressure that broke Morgan Smith`s line at the railroad, only to return at Harrow`s command & re-possess it in a resurgent wave that restored it & the broke section northward. This action is pictured in the Cyclorama of the Battle of Atlanta in Grant Park.
