army returned to Dalton.
The Federal authorities now resolved
to centre the bulk of their Eastern
army upon Richmond and their West
ern army upon Atlanta. Grant was
now made commander>in>chief of the
armies Of the United States with heads
quarters with the Eastern army. Sher-
man was in command of the army that
was to move upon Atlanta.
Sherman moved upon Dalton early
in May and appeared before Rocky
Face Ridge. The Confederates met
him at the Ridge and a lively skirmish
was kept up for few days until the
Federals succeeded in turning John
sons left flank, and he was forced to fall
back on Resaca on the night of May
18th, and had his army in position be-
fore the Federals came up. AS the
Federals advanced upon Resaca on the
evening Of the 18th they presented a
grand and imposing spectacle. Their
forces were massed into three columns
AS they came up through an open field
their ranks closed up into a solid
phalanx, and appeared as so many
walls of blue. Their arms glistened in
the sunlight, and the columns advanced
as steadily as though they were on
dress parade. The artillery kept pace
with the columns, and their skirmish
lines advanced in front at their regular
distance. AS the columns advanced
the Confederate skirmish lines with.
drew gradually and kept upa continual
fire on their retreat until the Federals
had arrived at the foot of a long hill
that lay parallel to the Federal lines.
At this point the guns from the fort
at Resaca poured forth tremendous
shower of shot and shell into the ranks
of the advancing Federals and the
movement was perelntorily checked.
The Federal artillery was quickly
wheeled into position, and heavy ar
tilery duel was carried on during the
remainder of the evening, and fighting
on the skirmish lines was brisk. There
were no casualties in the 18th during
the evening more than a few slight
wounds. Night came on and the firing
ceased. The Confederates fortified
their main lines and dug pits for the
skirmish lines during the night. Al
daylight on the 18th the skirmishine
was resumed and thickened on the right
into a general engagement. During
the 18th the situation remained com
paratively the same. The Federal
had been reinforced to such numbers
that they were able to keep Johnson'
front engaged and still keep a reserve
