Confederate position at the Battle of
Kennesaw Mountain. "Federal entrenchments at the foot of
Kenesaw Mountain." Sherman's campaign began on May 7, 1864,
as his three armies departed from the vicinity of Chattanooga. He launched
demonstration attacks against Johnston's position on the long, high mountain
named Rocky Face Ridge while McPherson's Army of the Tennessee advanced
stealthily around Johnston's left flank toward the town of Resaca and Johnston's
supply line on the Western & Atlantic Railroad. Unfortunately for Sherman,
McPherson encountered a small Confederate force entrenched in the outskirts of
Resaca and cautiously pulled back to Snake Creek Gap, squandering the
opportunity to trap the Confederate army. As Sherman swung his entire army in
the direction of Resaca, Johnston retired to take up positions there. Full scale
fighting erupted in the Battle of Resaca on May 14–15 but there was no
conclusive result and Sherman flanked Johnston for a second time by crossing the
Oostanaula River. As Johnston withdrew again, skirmishing erupted at Adairsville
on May 17 and more general fighting on Johnston's Cassville line May 18–19.
Johnston planned to defeat part of Sherman's force as it approached on multiple
routes, but Hood became uncharacteristically cautious and feared encirclement,
failing to attack as ordered. Encouraged by Hood and Polk, Johnston ordered
another withdrawal, this time across the Etowah River.[7]

Johnston's army took up defensive positions at Allatoona Pass south of
Cartersville, but Sherman once again turned Johnston's left as he temporarily
abandoned his railroad supply line and advanced on Dallas. Johnston was forced
to move from his strong position and meet Sherman's army in the open.
Fierce but
inconclusive fighting occurred on May 25 at New Hope Church, May 27 at Pickett's
Mill, and May 28 at Dallas. By June 1, heavy rains turned the roads to quagmires
and Sherman was forced to return to the railroad to supply his men. Johnston's
new line (called the Brushy Mountain Line) was established by June 4 northwest
of Marietta, along Lost Mountain, Pine Mountain, and Brush Mountain. On June 14,
following eleven days of steady rain, Sherman was ready to move again. While on
a personal reconnaissance, he spotted a group of Confederate officers on Pine
Mountain and ordered one of his artillery batteries to open fire. Lt. Gen. Leonidas Polk, the "Fighting Bishop," was killed and Johnston withdrew his men
from Pine Mountain, establishing a new line in an arc-shaped defensive position
from Kennesaw Mountain to Little Kennesaw Mountain. Hood's corps attempted an
unsuccessful attack at Peter Kolb's farm (the Battle of Kolb's Farm) south of
Little Kennesaw Mountain on June 22. Maj. Gen. William W. Loring succeeded to
temporarily command Polk's corps.[8]
Sherman was in a difficult position, stalled 15 miles (24 km) north of Atlanta.
He could not continue his strategy of moving around Johnston's flank because of
the impassable roads, and his railroad supply line was dominated by Johnston's
position on the top of 691 feet (211 m) Kennesaw Mountain. He reported to
Washington "The whole country is one vast fort, and Johnston must have at least
50 miles (80 km) of connected trenches with abatis and finished batteries. We
gain ground daily, fighting all the time. ... Our lines are now in close contact
and the fighting incessant, with a good deal of artillery. As fast as we gain
one position the enemy has another all ready. ... Kennesaw ... is the key to the
whole country." Sherman decided to break the stalemate by attacking Johnston's
position on Kennesaw Mountain. He issued orders on June 24 for an 8 a.m. attack
on June 27.[9]

The Northern Pacific Farmer
WRIGHTSTOWN.
The Glorious Fourth was gloriously celebrated here on the 4th, at Harcom's grove
under the auspices of the Parkers Prairie and Woodside G. A. R. Posts. Quite a
large number of army veterans were here from abroad among whom we noticed the
Hon. Jonn G. Nelson, James Kasson, and Mr. Livermore, of Parkers Prairie.
Messrs. S. O'Daniels, Tom Goodale,
and M. S. Dockstader arrived home from the western trip of exploration just in
time to take in the 4th. Rev. E. Wright delivered the oration and it was a
masterly piece of oratory. The speaker not only went back to the days of '76 but
went back 600 years and followed up step by step till the present time through
every phase of both ancient and modern history. Everything passed off
Harmoniously during the day, after Army Commander Nelson gave the rebels to
understand the rules which were to be observed during the day, which he did in a
very emphatic manner. There was a bowery dance in the evening which was well
patronized.
O'Daniels says he likes this part
of Minnesota as well or better, than any country he saw while he was gone.
Steve O'Daniells sports the nicest pair of matched horses in Otter
Tail
county.
His last place of residence was Florence, Neb. He was widowed and his closest
relative was Michael E. Dannell of Florence, Nebraska.
