Sherman encountered his biggest roadblock at Kennesaw Mountain, where Joseph E. Johnston's Army of Tennessee held a heavily fortified position. The opposing armies confronted each other from June 19 to July 3, 1864. Hess explains how this battle, with its combination of maneuver and combat, severely tried the patience and endurance of the common soldier and why Johnston's strategy might have been the Confederates' best chance to halt the Federal drive toward Atlanta. 650 0 $a Kennesaw Mountain, Battle of, Ga., 1864. 650 0 $a Atlanta Campaign, 1864. 830 0 $a Civil War America. 941 $a 5 952 $l WCPC115 $d 20230629021908.0 952 $l LPPC815 $d 20200801013602.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20200204071927.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20200110053848.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160826072346.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=097C38A0FC0211E29E97ABD5DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
