ORIGINAL SITE ADAIRSVILLE -- 1830's. May 17, 1864, Johnston's forces retreated S. From Resaca and paused here on an E. - W. line, the intention being to make a stand against the Federals in close pursuit. Finding the position untenable due to width of Oothcaloga Valley, Johnston withdrew at midnight.
Hardee's Corps was astride the road at this point. In rear-guard action, detachments from Hardee's Corps held the stone residence of Robert C. Saxon, 0.2 mi. N. of the County Line, until midnight. 008-1 GEORGIA HISTORICAL COMMISSION 1997
