American Civil War, Battle of Allatoona, 1864

The Battle of Allatoona was fought October 5, 1864, in Bartow County, Georgia, as part of the Franklin-Nashville Campaign of the American Civil War. A Confederate division under General Samuel French attacked a Union garrison under General John Corse, but was unable to dislodge it from its fortified position protecting the railroad through Allatoona Pass. The Franklin-Nashville Campaign was a series of battles in the Western Theater, conducted from September 18 to December 27, 1864, in Alabama, Tennessee, and northwestern Georgia. The Confederate Army of Tennessee under General John Bell Hood drove north from Atlanta, threatening General William Sherman's lines of communications and central Tennessee. After a brief attempt to pursue Hood, Sherman returned to Atlanta and began his March to the Sea, leaving Union forces under General George Thomas to deal with Hood's threat. Painting by Thure de Thulstrup, chromolithograph published by L. Prang & Company, 1887.
