In the predawn hours of June 27, 1864, Union officers received an order from Gen. William Tecumseh Sherman to assault Confederate forces entrenched along the Kennesaw Mountain line, anchored by an imposing 1800-foot precipice known as the “Gibraltar of Georgia.” Sherman’s mission: capture Atlanta, a critical rail center and industrial hub of the Confederate war machine. Kennesaw: One Last Mountain (2013; 35 minutes) uses authentic battle recreations and accounts of soldiers, civilians, and freed slaves to bring to life a dramatic Civil War story.
A discussion featuring Executive Producer Adam Eisenberg and Anthony Winegar, Chief Ranger at Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park will follow.
Presented by the National Archives in partnership with the National Park Service.
