Colonel Parkhurst describes the Battle of Brown's Mill (30-31 July 1864). Informs Union General Whipple that Colonel "James P. Brownlow has just come in here with a very few straggling cavalry entirely demoralized. Brownlow is barefooted. He reports that our cavalry destroyed the West Point and Macon Railroad to such an extent that it will require fifteen days to repair it, that they burnt 500 wagons including Hoods and Hardees..." (John Bell Hood and William Joseph Hardee). Writes that Union General Edward McCook's division was attacked by Confederate Generals John Herbert Kelly and William Young Coon Humes.
