Here is one of my snaps of 10+ pictures of the Burning of
Atlanta Cyclorama. On this particular
picture, with fire and all hell breaking loose, in the far-way horizon you can
see the humps of Big and Little Kennesaw
Mountains in nearby Marietta.
What is in this picture happened, probably happened July 22, 1864.
Kennesaw Mountains have already did all that. About a month
before, June 21st.
Incidentally, I think some of the Kennesaw Mountain soldiers
lagged behind for whatever reason. My
great grand father William A. Trammell/Hunter was short in the knee by the
Yankees on July the 19th, when the war at that time was around
Peachtree Creek in Atlanta.
About the same time William was drinking water from a spring
someplace on Kennesaw Mountain three hometown buddies. The same moment he felt the pain of his knee
being shot he saw one of his friends take a bullet between the eyes. The 3rd friend took off
running. William fell down and the
Northern soldiers ran by him in pursuit of his friend, which went
uncaught. His name was Posey C. Wild.
