The Battle of Kennesaw Mountain and its Aftermath
Amid heavy rains and mud the Army of the Tennessee pressed Johnston's center at Kennesaw Mountain from June through June 27. Sherman planned a grand assault after repeated flank and frontal attacks, led by Hood and French, resulting in severe casualties, Polk wounded, and Polk's corps reeling as Harker and McCook fell in the fighting. The Confederate line held, and Sherman ultimately withdrew to shorten the line while patrols and cavalry clashed at Noonday Creek and Powder Springs.
