sherman to john bell hood.ear general, my family is all in the allagheny mountains and i am here for breakfast a hotel nearby. even yet hours have passed i cannot help thinking of that wonderful and beautiful group of children you paraded before me last winter at your home in new orleans. so they did meet. and that you took my daughters lizzy and ellie up to see mrs. hood who was sick in her bed. i cannot banish the sight from my mind. and now write you the simple note to tell you that here in washington there is one that thinks of you and your bereavement and of those motherless children. i believe she will write you words of consolation at a loss that touches the heart more than a loss of a father. accept the assurance of my heart felt sympathy and great respect. truly your friend, william t. sherman. quite interesting. the sad thing is that hood never got it. he died on august 29. never got the letter of condolences. next to last one. of hood's 11 children, the youngest was anni. when mrs. hood died, she was

hardy, john bell hood, and the bishop general polk. polk actually commanded a separate army that was brought called the army of mississippi and it became a corps in john n johnson's army. johnson also had a cavalry corps that numbered between 7,000 and 8,000 men under the diminutive joseph wheeler. the campaign began in the first week of may of 1864. and sherman's plan, which was actually a plan that george thomas had originally devised, and that sherman adopted, was for -- with some modifications, sherman modified what thomas had envisioned -- but sherman's plan is to have the army of the ohio and the army of the cumberland to demonstrate against the confederate positions north and west of dalton. so keep johnson's attention focused in the immediate vicinity of dalton. mcpherson's army then would march west -- south and west of rocky face ridge. and you can see on the map up here, again, in the upper left-hand corner, the movements of the three armies. or you can look on your map there. mcpherson was to march 12 miles south of dalton,

unfortunately for johnson, john bell hood, who has been ordered to launch this attack, doesn't do so, and then in a conference that's held between johnson and , hood andcommanders lee unitas polk that the army .eeds to retreat again exactly what happened at this conference and who said what was a point of bitter contention between joe johnson and john bell hood for many, many years. each had a very different version of what happened said is absolutely impossible to reconcile, and we don't need to go into the details of it now, but the upside is that johnson saw that his corps commanders didn't have any confidence they could hold the position and the army retreated yet again. point is pretty optimistic about the course of the campaign and in a wonderfully evocative phrase, or passage rather, he writes -- this is in mid-may. "we are now in motion like a vast tide of bees and expect to swarm over the chattahoochee in a few days." the chattahoochee was the river flowing from east to west that natural the last barrier between sherman and atlanta. by the third day, johnson's army was entren

john belle hood doesn't do so. and then, in a conference, a night conference that's held between johnson and its core commanders, hood and polk argued that the army needed to retreat again. their army is being infiltrated. who said what was a point of bitter contention between joe johnson and john belle hood for many, many years. each had a very different version. he saw that his core commanders didn't have any confidence that they could hold this position in this, so, yet, the army retreated yet again. sherman, at this point, is pretty optimistic about the course of the campaign up to this point. and in a wonderfully e voktive phrase, he writes -- this is at the beginning. with are like a vast hive of bees and expect to swarm over the chatahoochie in a few days. johnson's army was in the alatoona mountains. sherman was very familiar with the entire section of georgia. he had spent time in the 1840s. he had been stationed here. sherman knew it would be foolish to try and attack johnson in the alatoona mountains. so

john bell hood is very open about this. d his post-bell lam memoir "advance and retreat" he claims that lee feels the same -- felt the same way. so sherman orders attacks. and the resulting battle of kennesaw mountain fought on june the 27th of 1864 was a costly defeat for sherman. the troops that launched the attacks were union soldiers. bloodily repulsed. they suffered about 3,000 casualties. sherman took a lot of heat from the northern press. his men were disheartened. but if you look at the losses that sherman's army had sustained up to this point in the campaign, including at kennesaw mountain, they paled in comparison to what was happening in virginia. compare the losses, for instance, in just a single day of fighting in the wilderness to the 3,000 casualties sustained at kennesaw, and you'll see that sherman is taking a lot of territory and suffering relatively few losses as a result. the only success of the day at kennesaw, that was the phrase that sherman used, didn't occur when these failed attacks against johnson'

and replacing him with john bell hood. an officer probably all of you know who had gained a reputation in 1862 and 1863 as one of lee's best brigade and division commanders. he had a reputation of being a very bold fighter. he personally sacrificed a lot, you know the nature of his wounds, the loss of a leg the partial use of an arm here in gettysburg. the message that relieved joe johnson. as you have failed to arrest the advance of the enemy to the vicinity of atlanta, and expressed no confidence that you can defeat or repel him, you are here by relieved. hood takes command and he has a mandate that he has to fight for the city of atlanta. he doesn't have a lot of room to maneuver. and there's some evidence, incidentally, that hood had been angling for this command, sometime prior to getting it. he was an intensely ambitious officer. johnson was then in retrospect. a general who lacked the ability to shape campaigns. throughout his career, he reacted to the moves of his opponents rather than seizing the initiative, that

thomas and the greatest defeat for john bell hood. as you may be aware, the army with which george thomas fox battle of nashville was composed of several contingents. you might even say, cobbled together almost on the field of battle there. thomas was sent back with the fourth corps of his army of the cumberland back into tennessee to gather forces there and other reinforcements that would be sent to him and put them together into an army that would stop john bell hood's late fall incursion into the state of tennessee. the fourth corps that tomas had commanded throughout the atlanta campaign earlier that year, there was the 23rd quarter under -- 23rd core under schofield, which had also served under sherman alongside, sproul army of the cumberland in the atlantic campaign. there was a large cavalry contingent under james h wilson, as brian just mentioned. and there is a division of united states colored troops under major general james steve mann. there were three divisions of the army of the tennessee under general andrew jackson smi
