Georgia seized by Union forces in bold Atlanta victory
The Tribune reports a dramatic Union advance in Georgia with Atlanta in Union hands after Hood’s failed attacks. Johnston bows out as Hood launches a renewed offensive, but is repulsed. Sherman’s strategy cuts Confederate lines, signaling a doomed Georgia campaign. McPherson dies at Atlanta, a heavy loss to Union morale. Slocum’s expedition defeats 2,000 rebels at Grand Gulf near Vicksburg.
