In the 1840s, engineers blasted through 175 feet of earth and
bedrock at Allatoona Pass, Georgia, to allow passage of the Western
& Atlantic Railroad. Little more than twenty years later, both
the Union and Confederate armies fortified the hills and ridges
surrounding the gorge to deny the other passage during the Civil
War. In October 1864, the two sides met in a fierce struggle to
control the iron lifeline between the North and the recently
captured city of Atlanta. Though small compared to other battles of
the war, this division-sized fight produced casualty rates on par
with or surpassing some of the most famous clashes. Join author
Brad Butkovich as he explores the controversy, innovative weapons
and unwavering bravery that make the Battle of Allatoona Pass one
of the war's most unique and savage battles.
