The Good, Bad, & Ugly. Blood spilled during Civil War in Marietta & Atlanta

 

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 21^st.

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 19^th, 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 3^rd 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.
