| Publisher Description: The Battle of Allatoona Pass has received scant attention in most histories of the Civil War. This is probably because it occurred after Sherman had taken Atlanta, but before Sherman's March to the Sea. Thus, it often escapes being noted in histories of either campaign. The battle was significant, though. Some of the fiercest fighting of the whole War occurred there, with combined casualty figures over 30% (North: 706; South: 873). The battle broke the back of John Bell Hood's plan to significantly disrupt Sherman's supply line from Atlanta to the north, and allowed Sherman to plan his march to Savannah with his Western & Atlantic supply line intact. This book contains 31 photos and drawings, with 13 of them in color. |
