Allatoona (Georgia, United States) (search for this): entry corse-john-murray
Corse, John Murray 1835-1893 Military officer; born in Pittsburg, Pa., April 27, 1835; graduated at the United States Military Academy in 1857; then studied law; and enlisted in the Union army at the beginning of the Civil War. In 1864 with about 1,000 troops he was ordered to Allatoona, Ga., where were stored large commissary supplies. The place was soon attacked by about 4,000 Confederates, but Corse refused to surrender, and bravely repulsed every onslaught of the enemy till reinforcements arrived from Sherman. Sherman had signalled Corse, Hold the fort, for I am coming, and this phrase was afterwards made the subject of an inspiring hymn by Ira D. Sankey. For this heroic defence Corse was brevetted a brigadier-general. He died in Winchester, Mass., April 27, 1893.
