The Battle of Ladiga, also known as the Battle of Terrapin Creek, was fought on October 28, 1864, near Ladiga, Alabama, during the American Civil War. The last of the fighting between the armies of generals John B. Hood and William T. Sherman, it was here that Confederate Brigadier-General Samuel W. Ferguson turned back Brigadier-General Kenner Garrard's larger force. The two armies fought all summer from Chattanooga to Atlanta, then west to Ladiga. To split the South, Sherman turned and led Federal forces in the Savannah Campaign. Hood withdrew to reoccupy Tennessee, fighting the battles of Franklin and Nashville.
