Battle of New Hope Church. Lt. Gen. J. B. Hood's A.C. [Confed.], having marched from the Etowah River, reached New Hope Ch., May 25, 1864, in time to halt Gen. J. W. Geary's (2d) div., 20th A.C. [Union], which had detoured near Owens' Mill enroute to Dallas by New Hope. Checked by Hood's outposts near the mill, the Federals advanced & struck Stewart's div. [Confed.] astride the road at this point - the left brigade (Stovall's) in the cemetery, with no intrenchments. Followed then several hours of bitter conflict - late afternoon & night - in rain & thunderstorm. Battle renewed next day. 110-28B GEORGIA HISTORICAL COMMISSION 1953
