Description
For four months during the summer of 1864, two massive armies struggled daily for control over an artery of supplies leading straight to the heart of the Confederate war machine: Atlanta, Georgia. Hundreds of railroad cars would travel daily to the besieged trenches. Come learn about the logistics behind making an army move, and why Kennesaw Mountain’s defenses were so important for the Union forces to negotiate.
