During the night of July 21, 1864 Cleburne's famed division performed a long night march to hit the Union Army in its flank. As Gen. Cleburne gave the order to move out, Gen. Lowrey led his brigade with Pvt. Adams present, to the Yankee works. In the last moments before the attack a hole formed between Cleburne and Walker's divisions. Gen. Lowrey immediately led his brave men into this gap thus saving Atlanta from being captured by the enemy.
In the horrible conflict which followed, Lowrey,s brigade lost 578 of the approximately 1,000 men under his command. It was here that Pvt. Adams was mortally wounded.
