Summary

Description
English: This sign stands at the Welcome Center in Rome. The sign reads:

FRENCH'S DIV. AT ROME

May 16, 1864. Maj. Gen. S.G. French, in person, reached Rome from Ala., en route with his div. (Polk's A.C.), to join Johnston's army (Confederate flag image) at Cassville. Sears' brigade was sent to Kingston that night.

May 17. Ector's, resisting Davis' approach on the Armuchee rd., was sent across the Oostanaula with Ross' & J.T. Morgan's cav. Cockrell's brigade arrived at dark & went on to Kingston. Ector was withdrawn at midnight - leaving a small force to defend the city.

French made a token defense, only, as he was under strict orders to reinforce Johnston's army, confronted by five corps of the Federal army under Sherman, as Cassville.
