Capture dispute over De Gress battery at Atlanta
Judge Robert L. Rodgers disputes a Constitution notice claiming the Forty-second Georgia captured De Gress battery. He cites official records showing De Gress battery was north of the Georgia railroad by July 22, 1864, and that the consolidated A and B batteries were in other positions. He urges examination of official reports to settle the matter for history.
