It had been a long winter for the men in the 58th and 60th
North Carolina regiments in and around Dalton, Georgia. However, with Sherman's
men poised just to their north, no one could really look forward to the spring
campaigns. During the attacks on May 14 - 15, 1864, the 58th and 60th
Regiments, a part of Reynolds' brigade, Stevenson's division, launched an
attack across these fields, and pushed the Federals back. Sherman, however,
soon moved a force further to the south, and Johnston was forced to abandon his
position and fall back, keeping himself between Sherman and Atlanta.
