August 20, 1864---Battle of Lovejoy's Station



AUGUST 20, 1864:  

The Battle of Lovejoy’s Station. Union cavalry raiders tasked with destroying and disrupting the Atlanta & West Point Railroad and the Macon & Western Railroad run afoul of a Confederate force at Lovejoy’s Station, and are forced to withdraw. Damage to the rail lines is extensive in area but not severe; the lines are back in operation within 72 hours.
