Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Address to Army Associations, and Miscellaneous Papers Relating to Civil and Spanish Wars Companions: On the 17th day of July, 1864, Gen´l John B.Hood relieved Gen´l Joseph E.Johnston in command of the confederate army in front of Atlanta, and on the 20th, Hood opened an attack upon Sherman´s right commanded by Gen´l Thomas. The attack was a failure and resulted in a great defeat to Hood´s Army and the disarrangement of all his plans. On the evening of the 21st of July, Gen´l Sherman´s army had closed up to within two miles of Atlanta, and on that day Forces Brigade of Leggett´s Division of Blair´s Seventeenth Army Corps carried a prominent hill known as Bald or Leggett´s Hill that gave us a clear view of Atlanta, and placed that city within range of our guns. It was a strategic point, and unless the swing of our left was stopped it would dangerously interfere with Hood´s communications towards the south. Hood fully appreciated this, and determined upon his celebrated attack in the rear of Gen´l Sherman´s Army. On the 22d of July, the Army of the Tennessee was occupying the rebel intrenchments, its right resting very near the Howard House, south of the Augusta Railroad, thence to Leggett´s Hill, which had been carried by Force´s assault on the evening of the 21st.
