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.Illus. in: Frank Leslie's illustrated newspaper, 1865 Jan. 21, p. 276.Illus. in AP2.L52 Case Y [P&P]92508757cph 3c05254 //hdl.loc.gov/loc.pnp/cph.3c05254LC-USZ62-105254 (b&w film copy neg.)[published 1865]http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/NKC/1.0/Civil war photographs, 1861-1865 (Library of Congress)Geary, John White, 1819-1873--Military serviceUnited States--History--Civil War, 1861-1865--Social aspectsTravel--Georgia--Savannah--1860-1870[Atlanta, Ga.
