Georgia
In July, August, and September 1864, William T. Sherman's armies closed a noose around Atlanta while John Bell Hood hurled the Army of Tennessee against them in a desperate ring of battles. This chronological driving tour follows that summer from Peachtree Creek to Jonesboro and Lovejoy's Station, ending among the Confederate dead at Oakland Cemetery. Expect real ground, real names, and the human cost of a campaign that helped re-elect Lincoln and doom the Confederacy.
