Item Details

Description

THE TAKING OF ATLANTA Good war-date letter from Harlan P. Martin 123rd N.Y. Vols. 4pp. 8vo. Atlanta Sep. 11 1864 to his mother. In part: ""…Our corps took possession of the city on the 1st…the rebels destroying a large amount of property when they left. They burnt about a hundred cars & locomotives a large amount of shot shell and muskets…There is some splendid buildings…there is hardly a house in the city but what has had a shell through it and most of them not less than five or six. The citizens had holes dug in the ground in which they lived while we were shelling the city but General Sherman has issued an order for all the citizens to leave the place…they expect to commence a fall campaign soon…"". Very good.
