A couple of weeks after the storming
of Kenesaw, which Johnston finally
abandoned to Sherman, this leader
was supplanted in the command by
General j. b. Hood. hero of the bat
tletields of the Potomac. Hood an
nounced his coming by series of sor-
ties against the foe then closing in
upon Atlanta. When Sherman heard
that Hood was in command of the
Confederates he warned his generals
that hard fighting lay ahead. He knew

After making the disposition he start

he encountered at close range some

gravely miscalculate in war. Inc

miles distant,
But Robert Z. Lee saw his oppor-

passes toward Richmond. The first

g HERMAN was "marching
- through Georgia" months be-
fore he started on the famous
trip from Atlanta to the sea which is
celebrated in the popular war song.
This time forty years ago the army
was on the northern slope Of Pine
mountain toiling to break through the
passes held by General Joseph e.
Johnston's Confederates and covered
by his guns. Beyond Pine mountain
lay bold Kenesaw, through which the
railway passed leading to Atlanta.
The actions fought during this stage
of Sherman's march were less san
culinary than those taking place in
the same period on eastern battle
fields. but the National cemetery at
Marietta. on the southern slopes of
Kenesaw, holds the ashes of 10000
Federal soldiers who fell from the
bullets or disease. Kenesaw and the
lesser mountains around it held Sher-
mans army a month. On the 9th of
June the heights were stormed, with a
loss of $500 Federal assailants.
