Fifty years ago today Gen. W. T. Sher-
man. commanding the FederaIs operating
against Gen. Joseph (. Johnston's army
in Georgia. was prepared to attack the
Confederates at Kenesaw Mountain, %
miles from Atlanta, where the cOntending
forces had been maneuvering for two
weeks.
Gen. Sherman, nervous and impetuous.
had not found the happenings of the
fortnight altogether to his liking. He had
begun the campaign with a dash that had
thus far carried everything before II, but
Gen. Johnston had been able at this
rugged mountain barrier of kenesaw to
establish a new and strong defensive line
Gen. Sherman had brought his army
to bear upon it on June II
He had hearty respect for the lighting
abilities Of the Confederates and had no
desire TO attack them in their entrench-
ments. Consequently he attempted to
force them TO retreat by threatening their
rear with a flank movement.
But Gen. Johnston proved himself equal
to the emergency, and as the Federals
gained footholds on his left, retired that
flank TO interior and stronger lines In
the night of June IS he withdrew his
entire army to his last line of defenses
in front OF Marietta and awaited the
next move OF the Federals.
The new line was generally semi-circu-
lar, beginning southwest of Marietta and
extending along the slopes and twin peaks
OF Kenesaw Mountain to some high land
east of the Western & Atlantic Railroad.

and many of them were impossible except
by bridges.
But by the night Of June n Gen. Sher-
man had pushed his right far South along
Johnston's nank. Gen. Joseph Hooker's
corps, the Goth. had reached the vicinity

southwest of Marietta. Gen. ]. NJ. Scho-
fields army Of the Ohio was on Hooker's
right.
The two commands practically were on
the extreme flank Of Gen. Hardee's corps.
and threatened to break through and
force their way into Marietta
Gen. Johnston met the situation by
marching a third of his army, Gen. John
B. Hoods corps, from the right Of his
line to the left. Hood marched all night
Of the 21st, and early next morning was
in front Of Hooker and Schofield. He
wasted some hours in the morning. al
lowing the Federals to rearrangs their
lines and throw UP rude but effective
defenses. but toward the middle of the
afternoon launched furious attack
against them.
Gen. Hood was rashly brave and fire.
1uently led his men in attacks which
made fine material for historians but
gained little ground for the Confederacy.
