reports of Brig. Gen. Thomas J. Wood, U. S. Army, commanding Third Division.
Hdqrs. Third Division, Fourth Army Corps, Atlanta, Ga., September 10, 1864.
Sir: The opening of the grand campaigns in the spring of 1864 witnessed a new phase in our military combinations.
Previously dispersion of our troops, and of course of our efforts, had-been the order of the day; for the campaigns of the spring and summer of 1864 concentration of our troops had been wisely resolved on. In conformity with this principle of concentration large masses of troops were concentrated in and near the northwestern angle of Georgia in the latter part of April for the summer campaign into this State.
The division which I have the honor to command, being the Third Division, of the Fourth Army Corps, Army of the Cumberland, constituted a part of the troops so assembled, and it is the object of this report to present a faithful history of the part it bore in the grand campaign, which, extending o
