FEBRUARY 24, 1864:         

The Battle of Dalton, Georgia. General George H. Thomas U.S.A., “The Rock of Chickamauga,” decides to send an Expeditionary Force to probe the lines and assess the strength of General Joseph E. Johnston’s forces. These probing attacks become a running series of skirmishes that last until the end of the month. Thomas finally withdraws after making the assessment that he does not have enough men to engage Johnston in a large-scale battle.
