Full maroon cloth. 176 pp. B&W photos in text. Fine. In the late spring of 1864, Union general William T. Sherman made his way toward Atlanta in what would become infamous as his March to the Sea. Northwest of the city, in Paulding County, Sherman's advance was halted for the first time when he found himself enveloped in unbroken wilderness, face to face with Joseph Johnston's Army of Tennessee. The two armies engaged in a series of intense battles in the area, which the soldiers would begin calling the "Hell Hole." Harrowing details bring to life conflicts at New Hope Church, Pickett's Mill, and Dallas in this thorough study of Georgia warfare during the Georgia Campaign.
