Chapter 15: Atlanta campaign-nashville and Chattanooga to Kenesaw. March, April, and May, 1864. On the 18th day of March, 1864, at Nashville, Tennessee, I relieved Lieutepant-General Grant in command of the Military Division of the Mississippi, embracing the Departments of the Ohio, Cumberland, Tennessee, and Arkansas, commanded respectively by Major-Generals Schofield, Thomas, McPherson, and Steele. General Grant was in the act of starting East to assume command of all the armies of thea Volunteers during the Florida War; and after completing the work at Marietta we transferred our party over to Bellefonte, Alabama. I had ridden the distance on horseback, and had noted well the topography of the country, especially that about Kenesaw, Allatoona, and the Etowah River. On that occasion I had stopped some days with a Colonel Tunlin, to see some remarkable Indian mounds on the Etowah River, usually called the Ilightower. I therefore knew that the Allatoona Pass was very strong

While we were thus engaged about Kenesaw, General Grant had his hands full with Lee, ianley gained a position near the south end of Kenesaw, from which the enemy attempted in vain to dready, but I think he will soon have to let go Kenesaw, which is the key to the whole country.

1864. As before explained, on the 3d of July, by moving McPherson's entire army from the extreme left, at the base of Kenesaw to the right, below Olley's Creek, and stretching it down the Nickajack toward Turner's Ferry of the Chattahoochee, we fus to make a lodgment on his railroad below Marietta, or even to cross the Chattahoochee. Of course, he chose to let go Kenesaw and Marietta, and fall back on an intrenched camp prepared by his orders in advance on the north and west bank of the Choreover, we held the high ground and could overlook his movements, instead of his looking down on us, as was the case at Kenesaw. From a hill just back of Vining's Station I could see the houses in Atlanta, nine miles distant, and the whole intery itself. In my dispatch of July 6th to General Halleck, at Washington, I state that-- Johnston (in his retreat from Kenesaw) has left two breaks in the railroad--one above Marietta and one near Vining's Station. The former is already repaired,

e. We had strong railroad guards at Marietta and Kenesaw, Allatoona, Etowah Bridge, Kingston, Rome, Resaca, Smyrna Camp, and the next day reached Marietta and Kenesaw. The telegraph-wires had been cut above Marietta, nfantry, artillery, and cavalry, had been seen from Kenesaw (marching north), I inferred that Allatoona was the 4th of October I signaled from Vining's Station to Kenesaw, and from Kenesaw to Allatoona, over the heads of tKenesaw to Allatoona, over the heads of the enemy, a message for General Corse, at Rome, to hurry back to the assistance of the garrison at Allatoona. hear the faint reverberation of the cannon. From Kenesaw I ordered the Twenty-third Corps (General Cox) to mwest, distant eighteen miles. The signal-officer on Kenesaw reported that since daylight he had failed to obtaited States Engineers, at the time of our advance on Kenesaw, the previous June. Each redoubt overlooked the sted his admiration; and he instanced the occasion at Kenesaw in June, when an officer from Wheeler's cavalry had

n cheer upon cheer for bold Sherman Went up from each valley and glen, And the bugles reechoed the music That came from the lips of the men; For we knew that the stars in our banner More bright in their splendor would be, And that blessings from Northland would greet us, When Sherman marched down to the sea! Then sang we a song, etc. III. Then forward, boys I forward to battle! We marched on our wearisome way, We stormed the wild hills of Resaca-- God bless those who fell on that day! Then Kenesaw frowned in its glory, Frowned down on the flag of the free; But the East and the West bore our standard, And Sherman marched on to the sea! Then sang we a song, etc. IV. Still onward we pressed, till our banners Swept out from Atlanta's grim walls, And the blood of the patriot dampened The soil where the traitor-flag falls; But we paused not to weep for the fallen, Who slept by each river and tree, Yet we twined them a wreath of the laurel, As Sherman marched down to the sea! Then sang we

. Three armies had come together from distant fields, with separate histories, yet bound by one common cause — the union of our country, and the perpetuation of the Government of our inheritance. There is no need to recall to your memories Tunnel Hill, with Rocky-Face Mountain and Buzzard-Roost Gap, and the ugly forts of Dalton behind. We were in earnest, and paused not for danger and difficulty, but dashed through Snake-Creek Gap and fell on Resaca; then on to the Etowah, to Dallas, Kenesaw; and the heats of summer found us on the banks of the Chattahoochee, far from home, and dependent on a single road for supplies. Again we were not to be held back by any obstacle, and crossed over and fought four hard battles for the possession of the citadel of Atlanta. That was the crisis of our history. A doubt still clouded our future, but we solved the problem, destroyed Atlanta, struck boldly across the State of Georgia, severed all the main arteries of life to our enemy, and Chris

tables, and concentrated milk, meat-biscuit, and sausages, but somehow the men preferred the simpler and more familiar forms of food, and usually styled these desecrated vegetables and consecrated milk. We were also supplied liberally with lime-juice, sauerkraut, and pickles, as an antidote to scurvy, and I now recall the extreme anxiety of my medical director, Dr. Kittoe, about the scurvy, which he reported at one time as spreading and imperiling the army. This occurred at a crisis about Kenesaw, when the railroad was taxed to its utmost capacity to provide the necessary ammunition, food, and forage, and could not possibly bring us an adequate supply of potatoes and cabbage, the usual antiscorbutics, when providentially the black-berries ripened and proved an admirable antidote, and I have known the skirmish-line, without orders, to fight a respectable battle for the possession of some old fields that were full of blackberries. Soon, thereafter, the green corn or roasting-ear came
