THE ATLANTA CAMPAIGN: Volume 1: Dalton to Cassville, May 1-19, 1864

1-243951

This first installment in a five-volume series of The Atlanta Campaign relies on a mountain of primary source material and extensive experience with the terrain to examine the battles of Dalton, Resaca, Rome Crossroads, Adairsville, and Cassville -- the first phase of the long and momentous campaign. While none of these engagements matched the bloodshed of the Wilderness or Spotsylvania, each witnessed periods of intense fighting and key decision-making. The largest fight, Resaca, produced more than 8,000 killed, wounded, and missing in just two days. In between these actions, the armies skirmished daily in a campaign its participants would recall as the 100 days' fight. Contains 48 images and 19 maps.
