The Atlanta (Georgia) Campaign: May 1 - September 8, 1864., Part I: General Report. (ed. Maj. George B. Davis, Mr. Leslie J. Perry, Mr. Joseph W. Kirkley), chapter 51 (search)
llows the night so we followed them, but they halted us near Lovejoy's Station, and we remained there two or three days, losing 1 man killed and 4 wounded during the time, and on the 4th we learned that Atlanta was held by our forces and the campaign was ended, and on the 5th instant, with the balance of the army, we took up our line of march toward Atlanta, a tired yet a happy set of men. We encamped one night in Jonesborough on our way back, and reached the captured city of Atlanta noonday of the 8th instant and went into camp one mile north of the city. A general summary of the casualties of the regiment during the past eventful campaign is as follows: Commissioned officers killed, 4; wounded, 5. Enlisted men killed, 13; wounded, many of them mortally, 97. Total, 119. I have the honor to be, sir, your most obedient servant, F. A. Atwater, Major, Comdg. Forty-second Illinois Vet. Vol. Infantry. Captain Waterman, A A. A. A. G., Third Brig., Second Div., 4th Army Corps.
The Atlanta (Georgia) Campaign: May 1 - September 8, 1864., Part I: General Report. (ed. Maj. George B. Davis, Mr. Leslie J. Perry, Mr. Joseph W. Kirkley), chapter 52 (search)
the 22d confronted the enemy in their fortifications around Atlanta, where we remained until the night of the 25th, when we started on a raid, which resulted in the evacuation of Atlanta, on the night of the 1st of September. In the skirmish near Jonesborough on the 1st lost 2 men wounded, and on the 2d near Lovejoy's, 3 men wounded. Remained at Lovejoy's till the 5th; commenced a retrogade movement in the evening, regiment on picket, and marched in triumph into Atlanta on the 8th. This is a brief outline of operations, and somewhat imperfect, owing to the fact that I have been in command since June 27 only. I append a list of casualties during the campaign: Officers killed, 3; wounded, 5; total, 8. Enlisted men killed, 22; wounded, 79; captured, 4; missing, 1; total, 106. Aggregate, 114. I am, captain, very truly, your obedient servant, A. M. Tilton, Captain, Comdg. Fifty-first Illinois Infantry. Captain Waterman, Acting Assistant Adjutant-General, Third Brigade.
