Book excerpt: "As General William Tecumseh Sherman set his sights on Atlanta in the summer of 1864, he fought several small battles-Resaca, Pickett's Mill, and skirmishes around Marietta-against an ever-retreating General Joseph E. Johnston who had replaced the beleaguered General Braxton Bragg as leader of the Confederate Army of Tennessee. After heavy rains slowed Sherman's advance, Johnston shored his army up along the Brushy Mountain line. With Johnston's army well entrenched and Sherman unable to flank him because of the mountains and impassable roads, Sherman noted in his reports to Washington, 'Kennesaw is the key to the whole country.'
