United States, Georgia, Chatham County, Savannah, 32.08354, -81.09983Waud, Alfred R. (Alfred Rudolph), 1828-18911860Photograph of the War in the West. These photographs are of Sherman in Atlanta, September-November, 1864. After three and a half months of incessant maneuvering and much hard fighting, Sherman forced Hood to abandon the munitions center of the Confederacy. Sherman remained there, resting his war-worn men and accumulating supplies, for nearly two and a half months. During the occupation, George N. Barnard, official photographer of the Chief Engineer's Office, made the best documentary record of the war in the West; but much of what he photographed was destroyed in the fire that spread from the military facilities blown up at Sherman's departure on November 15.Drawing possibly by William Waud.Title inscribed on sheet affixed to verso.Inscribed above image with indicators: Savannah; Old duelling ground; Venus point.Gift, J.P.
