Battery F
Moved out on the 1st of July on the Marietta and Atlanta road, and took a position near the roadside. The night of the 2d the rebels fell back, and, leaving Seesaw Mountain, occupied a new line of works near the Chattahoochee. On the 6th we crossed Kickajack Creek, and pursuing a southeast course struck the railroad at Huff's Station, seven miles from the river. The morning of the 18th advanced to the Chattahoochee, striking it at the mouth of Soap creek, five miles from the railroad bridge. There other rebels opened fire on us with a howitzer battery from a high hill on the opposite side of the river.
