| Interpretation | During the 14th of May, 1864, the lines were formed, General McPherson slowly pressing forward with the Army of the Tennessee on the right until within easy shelling range of Resaca and the bridges over the Oostanaula. In the town scarcely a single house remained unmarked by shot or shell. . . .Generals Palmer and Schofield were slowly but surely gaining ground in the center. Barnard, George N. Photographic Views of Sherman's Campaign. (New York: Dover Publications, 1977), p. xi-xii. |
