I have a correction. I said, "French's Division line ran from approximately the Western Atlantic Railroad southwestward in the Atlanta siege line." This is incorrect.

An extract of Major General Edward C. Walthall's report, Source: The War of the Rebellion: A Compilation of the Official Records of the Union and Confederate Armies, Volume XXXVIII, book 3, p. 928:

"On the 29th of July, under instructions from Major-General Cheatham, commanding Stewart's corps, I conducted my command back to the point from which it had been moved the morning before, and was notified that the skirmishers in front of the Georgia State troops, some of whom were upon the line formerly held by Major-General Stevenson, on the right of the Marietta road, would thereafter be furnished from his division and my own jointly. On the morning of 31st the corps was put in the trenches, commencing at the Lick Skillet road, on the left, and by this arrangement my right, being the extreme right of the corps, rested near the Marietta road, my troops in single rank and Major-General French's division on my left."

I supporting batteries remain the same from what I can assess.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Respectfully,
