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, 1864 Oct. 29, p. 92.Illus. in AP2.L52 Case Y [P&P]92508759cph 3c05256 //hdl.loc.gov/loc.pnp/cph.3c05256LC-USZ62-105256 (b&w film copy neg.)[published 1864]http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/NKC/1.0/Civil war photographs, 1861-1865 (Library of Congress)United States--History--Civil War, 1861-1865--Civil defenseEvacuations--Georgia--Atlanta--1860-1870[Atlanta, Ga.
