Continued Battle Description and Results
Johnston anticipated Sherman’s move and met the Union forces at New Hope Church.

Sherman mistakenly surmised that Johnston had a token force and ordered Maj. Gen. Joseph Hooker’s corps to attack. This corps was severely mauled. On the 26th, both sides en-trenched, and skirmishing continued throughout the day. Actions the next day in this area are discussed under Pickett’s Mills.

Results: Confederate victory
