Inscription
FLOYD SPRINGS Garrard's Cavalry [USA], having left Villanow, May 14, 1864, passed Floyd Springs May 15, enroute to Farmer's Bridge & Rome. After scouting toward Rome, the Cav. withdrew & camped here. May 16. Returning toward Lay's Ferry (near Resaca), Garrard met Davis' (2d) div. 14th A.C. [USA], enroute S. to Rome.
Garrard informed Davis that Farmer's Bridge, 8 mi. N. of Rome, was at Armuchee Cr., not an Oostanaula River crossing. This was news to Davis, who had been informed otherwise - due to confusing reports at headquarters. Davis' march from Resaca to Rome was predicated on a river crossing at Farmer's Bridge.
