Synopsis

This Is An Account Of The Battle Of Pickett's Mill, Which Was Fought During The Atlanta Campaign Of 1864 On May 27 Along The New Hope Church Line In Paulding County, Georgia ... Previous Histories Of The Battles Along The Dallas Line Have Simplified The Movements Of These Two Days. I Have Chosen To Chronicle Them In Depth In Order To Give A Better Understanding To Why The Battle Ended Up Being Fought Where It Was ... I Examine The Movements Of The Units Involved At All Levels, Sometimes Down To The Skirmish Lines And Individual Companies--preface.
