According to the Gone With The Wind, the citizens of Atlanta could hear the battle clearly; Kennesaw is about 25 miles from Atlanta.
Sherman was one of the best generals in the civil war. When i was in AOAC at knox in ‘79 we would have a lot of pickup parties after dinner in the van vorhis housing area. If things got boring i would stand up and say ROBERT E LEE WAS NOT THE BEST GENERAL IN THE CIVIL WAR. Needless to say i was outnumbered but never proven wrong.
Unleash the flames.
