While fighting his way toward Atlanta, William T. Sherman
encountered his biggest roadblock at Kennesaw Mountain, where
Joseph E. Johnston's Army of Tennessee held a heavily fortified
position. The opposing armies confronted each other from June 19 to
July 3, 1864, and Sherman initially tried to outflank the
Confederates. His men endured heavy rains, artillery duels,
sniping, and a fierce battle at Kolb's Farm before Sherman decided
to directly attack Johnston's position on June 27. Kennesaw
Mountain tells the story of an important phase of the Atlanta
campaign. Historian Earl J. Hess explains how this battle, with its
combination of maneuver and combat, severely tried the patience and
endurance of the common soldier and why Johnston's strategy might
have been the Confederates' best chance to halt the Federal drive
toward Atlanta. He gives special attention to the engagement at
Kolb's Farm on June 22 and Sherman's assault on June 27. A final
section explores the Confederate earthworks preserved within the
Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park.
