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.Title from item.Illus. in: Harper's weekly, v. 8, no. 388 (1864 June 4), p. 364.Illus. in AP2.H32 1864 (Case Y) [P&P]2004682220cph 3c35276 //hdl.loc.gov/loc.pnp/cph.3c35276LC-USZ62-135276 (b&w film copy neg.)engHarper's weeklyhttp://rightsstatements.org/vocab/NKC/1.0/Civil war photographs, 1861-1865 (Library of Congress)Campaigns & battles--Georgia--1860-1870United States--History--Civil War, 1861-1865--Campaigns & battles[Atlanta, Ga.
