We permanently protect these battlefields for future generations as a lasting and tangible memorial to the brave soldiers who fought in the American Revolution, the War of 1812, and the Civil War.
Thank you Erik,Ranger Kyle and Chris and Garry behind the camera, for this documentary on the Battle of Atlanta.
Another excellent piece of work !!!!!
Terrific work as always, Gentlemen. So very envious of what you get to do even though I realize it isn't easy.
A great-great-grandfather fought with the 6th Iowa at Kennesaw and his unit suffered horrible casualties. Luckily, he avoided the Rebel lead, or I wouldn't be here today.
Thanks!
I was watching a History Channel show on Little round Top from 2002 and who did I see as an expert but a very very very young Garry Adelman!!!
Great video, I have walked here for years. My friends own a house on Cheatham Hill Road that is just about right next to where General Thomas and his troops camped.
Great video. Since I live in Georgia I always love the local coverage. Time for me to make another visit to Kennesaw
i have been here its a beautiful place
The Battle and Campaigns for Atlanta, great video ABT Kris and Dr Carson, So Grant sent Sherman with the Army of the Cumberland, George Thomas, Gen Schoefield with the Army of the Tennessee and Mcpherson of the Army of the Ohio, totaling over 110,000, + federal troops, The key objective the railroads and eventually Atlanta, Resaca, and New Hope Church, interesting against Gen Joseph Eggleston Johnston, the comeback Confederate Rebel General,
Kennesaw Mountain is near the railroad? John Bell Hood under Johnston faced the Union forces at Cheatham Hill,, a 9,000-troop assault, the union made diversionary attacks? Hooker battles Hood, and the Confederates leave their lines? Is Sherman protecting his railroad supply line? this is intriguing, the higher the number the regt, the newer the recruit troops, unless veterans, Johnston, is observing this, his forces are gaining more assistance, Leonidas Polk, and Patrick Cleburne? so Johnston left his lines after June 27th Union assaults, to Peach Tree Creek? and Hood writes to POTCS Davis, Gen Johnston is a complete XYZ#_% etc, This is fascinating?
2 gg uncles in Walcutts brigade/40th IL/Co D survived the attack on Little Kennesaw. Lt Col Rigdon Barnhill (from my home county) was KIA leading the 40th IL in the attack..
Thank you so much! Kris, I have been taking your suggestion already and catching up on the previous Western Theater swing through Chickamauga and Chattanooga, etc. Highly recommend them, as well!
Sadly, scan't mention of The River Line. I lived on that battlefield for a while.
👍👍
Glad you got Kyle’s name right this time!
I really enjoy these videos. I discovered two of my great great grandfathers fought in McCook’s brigade at Cheatham Hill and battled Sam Watkins. They were in the 85th and 86th Illinois. I really enjoyed your video of that charge and sent it to my dad to watch it.
We visited Perryville this summer where I discovered they were under Phil Sheridan, but not in the fight. On the same trip, we ended up getting my three oldest kids the junior Civil War historian badge at Stones River since we visited enough battlefields. Kennesaw and Chattanooga are high on our list to go next!
Hey there! Your grandfathers were in the same division as my uncles in the 125th IL. Kennesaw is a great visit, I hope you enjoy it.
Hey Kris! Stick around, I'm on my way! 😀
comment! I was just there last week!
