Confederate Brigadier General Francis A. Shoup supervised construction of fortifications along the north bank of the Chattahoochee River during the summer of 1864, in the lead up to the July 5, 1864 skirmish at Pace's Ferry. The Confederates were forced to retreat across the river to the southern bank. They were pursued by Union soldiers who crossed the river on July 9, 1864.
