Hood vs Sherman Battle Near Atlanta Ends in Heavy Confederate Losses
The Confederate army under Hood fails to overwhelm Sherman's force at Atlanta as Hood's late July assault collapses. Dodge's rear-guard action saves McPherson's trains and prevents a disastrous gap. McPherson is killed in action, Logan assumes command, with Confederate losses around 14 000 to 3 500 on the Union side and 3 220 dead. The narrative continues in a subsequent chapter.
