Chapter 32: battle of Kolb's Farm and Kenesaw The weather continued stormy, and it was not until June 22, 1864, that any positive advanal A. S. Williams. This battle of Kolb's Farm was wholly on the Kenesaw line extended southward. Sherman, on account of guerrilla and cavimpregnable part was in the natural fortress of the south slope of Kenesaw. The intrenchments or breastworks everywhere, whatever ypu calld as to give against us both direct and cross fires. To my eye, Kenesaw there, at the middle bend of Johnston's long line, was more diffichis losses were hardly ever as great as ours; so that, I think, at Kenesaw he had as many men as at Resaca. My judgment is confirmed by the determined attacks and repulses at different points all along the Kenesaw line during June 27th. General Sherman's field orders notified 27th. I recall, in general, the character of the country near to Kenesaw, mostly wild, hilly, and rugged, and thickly covered with virgin t

By this movement I think I can force Johnston to move his army down from Kenesaw to defend his railroad crossing and the Chattahoochee. . . . Johnston may comeis what I want, for Thomas is well intrenched parallel with the enemy south of Kenesaw. The proposed march was only to proceed down the Sandtown straight for Atla orders, given under the inspiration of what he had discovered on the sides of Kenesaw, and what he hoped for, came to me through Thomas. Sherman and some members ocked it up brought the note to me. It was plain enough after our experience at Kenesaw why I did not charge over my pupil's lines. But now from all parts of the fto make a circuit, destroying all its railroads. After the rain and mud beyond Kenesaw, we were now having fair weather-at times a little too hot for comfort or safe

moments was hard at work, and the battery was rolled around to help him, when amid the smoke and confusion the same strong echelon movement of Confederates was carried on to Kimball and beyond. All these soldiers on our side were partially covered by rails and on a crest, so that their losses were not heavy. Walker's division of Confederates, coming straight up on both sides of the road, was without protection. They were cut down like grass before the scythe, as Newton's men had been at Kenesaw less than a month before. Walker's men on the direct front-those who had not fallen-soon retired to rally their strength, but all beyond Kimball's right passed on and made him bend back more and more to meet them, till Bradley and the convenient cannon faced about to help him. It was almost too much for Newton to be outflanked on both sides and to have two whole divisions, each larger than his own, launched against him. General Ward, the successor in the division of General Butterfield,
