I was born and live within 3-miles of Kennesaw Mountain. Much Civil War history was (and still is) in my backyard. Thank you for spending time in our area, which most Southerners consider hallowed ground. My G.G. granddaddy and his 2 brothers served with the Confederacy - 14th GA, Co. E. Lester's Volunteers. We are extremely proud of our Southern heritage, family history and position as freedom-loving Americans. We are saddened that this terrible conflict has in our modern time, been reduced to a simple political argument of slavery & racism - Northerners were/are peace-loving, tolerant peoples while Southerners were/are hate-filled, racists. Nothing is farther from the truth. In all concerns, we are together Amercians. Thank you for a well-placed portrayal of those who served on both sides of this conflict. Hope you will spend more time in our area. There is so much more to see and learn.

Great video. I run those trails weekly. The unknown soldier buried at Cheatham Hill was actually identified in 2009 after 5 years of research. His remains were not recovered after the battle and were discovered in 1938 by conservation workers. He was interred at the spot he was found and was given a traditional headstone. After years of research he was identified by Brian Quinlin as Pvt. Mark Carr, 19, of Company I of the 34th Illinois Infantry.

We have such a hard time, today, understanding the savageness of Civil War combat and the huge dose of courage the men who endured it displayed. Both sad and inspiring.

I live about 6 miles from here and hike the trails weekly in this National Park.

Now it is a solemn place of tall oaks, deer, and wild turkey where people recreate in peace. Thanks for the video.

I live in the area close to Kennesaw Mountain. Lived here all my life, minus 20 years serving in the US Navy. I was raised up and taught about the battles local to our area. My great grandfather lived in Dallas Georgia and served in the Confederate Army during the Civil War. He lost his life coming home from the siege of Vicksburg. He died from dysentery in the Sand Mountain Alabama area and was buried there. Lots of Civil War history in our county of Paulding County, the Battle of New Hope Church was another leading up to the Kennesaw Mountain skirmish.

As I understand it, the WWI tunnel and explosion was dramatic, caused a significant number of casualties, but didn't change the strategic positions it was meant to improve. That explosion was proceeded by weeks of rain, and once the explosion occurred the soldiers, tanks and cavalry were unable to advance because of the impassable ground.

MG B. F. Cheatham was one of the most colorful of AoT generals. When berating an Irish pvt. for not doing his duty, the pvt. said "You wouldn't speak to me like that - if you weren't a general." To which Cheatham took off his uniform and said "There's Gen. Cheatham - Here's Marse Frank!" Then they duked it out. Supposedly, the Irishman got the better of the fight. Gen. Cheatham is buried in Mt. Olivet Cemetery in Nashville.

I am really enjoying your episodes, especially about Civil War battlefields. I grew up in Atlanta and, even having been to Kennesaw Mountain many times, your perspective taught me a lot I didn't know. It is very interesting that was the time of change in Sherman's strategy to start deliberately wreaking destruction on civilians, not just the Confederate Army. He continued that strategy all the way to Savannah and on to Columbia, SC after that. My parents are buried in Westview Cemetery in Southwest Atlanta, where the Battle of Ezra Church took place, It took place on July, 28, 1864 and Atlanta fell soon after, on September 2.

As a teen, we use to hang out at Kennesaw Mountain on Sunday afternoons. Took my son back some 30 years later and they have really dressed up the battle fields. Amazing the courage those men had back then on both sides.

The fact that your great great grandfather was there is mind blowing!

I was stationed at Fort Bragg for years and since I love history, I visited Bentonville just a short ways from there. It was a year or so after that visit that I found out my Grandpa Handcock (no, not that one! :-P) also fought there too.

Living about 30 miles south of Chattanooga I grew up with this history all around me.

The official records are on line and an invaluable resource for us amateur archeologists. You do great job of presenting the details but there is so much more to be seen off the beaten path.

I've visited this very spot, and it's incredibly moving. The Rebels fought with visceral desperation, as there were no more strategic barriers to Atlanta past Kennesaw - and everyone knew that if Atlanta fell, the war was essentially over. It was over 100 humid degrees when the battle commenced, and a thick fog of gunsmoke obscured the action in all directions. The soldiers, in itchy wool uniforms better suited for spring or fall, were both completely terrified and fighting blind. Cannonballs, grape shot and small arms fire whistled madly in the air above them in all directions - to this day there are trees standing near the trenches that have more lead bullets in them than is imaginable - embedded like acorns around the trees' full circumference - if you didn't see it with your own eyes - you simply wouldn't believe it. It's hard to conceive of how anyone survived. When things absolutely couldn't get any worse - of course they did; a series of fires broke out in the woods here and there as the no-quarter fighting continued unabated, and spread quickly on both sides. It was truly hell on earth. After the war, veteran's groups and ladies auxiliaries returned to the battle field and left maybe two or three dozen memorial plaques marking where this or that soldier fell - Union and Confederate. I have a VERY good imagination - and I couldn't begin to imagine the fear and suffering of all these men in this living hell. Let's not do it again...

I went to Kennesaw Battlefield yesterday. I stopped at this part because I own a pistol that was used by a Lieutenant in the 85th Illinois. It was awesome having his pistol there, thinking the last time it was there was during the battle. Thanks for the video.

@@BayouVeteransInterviews I was speaking "overall" but I agree and know the propaganda spread in the south to keep my ancestors, and those of others, under control. I was even taught much of that propaganda in public school (many, many years ago). Still, as I'm crediting you, without knowing you, the phrase "victors write history" is nothing new, and as revealed by many like @The History Underground more "hidden details" of the past are being discovered, exposed and admitted than had previously been the case. During my life I've learned there are usually more than two sides of any story. However, the often unfortunate truth is victors tend to put their spin or slant on telling what occurred. Even I grew up with adults whispering in a scolding manner, "We don't talk about that." Am I bitter regarding what I was fed as a youth? No, not really, because it prompted me to feed on that inner voice that said "there is something more," So, other than set, complain, and criticize others, I researched to gain a broader view and learned to accept attitudes of one era that are useless for me to dwell on today. So, be careful not to sound self righteous with replies. There may be more involved with a comment than you realize.

I visited this battlefield some years ago and remember being so moved at seeing those earthworks. This past fall I began reading Shelby Foote's three volume narrative of the Civil War and I would recommend it to anyone who is willing to sit through three one-thousand page detailed accounts. Foote has a wonderful writing style, but because of the level of detail he goes into, there are sometimes paragraphs with the names of ten different generals in them that explain a particular situation. It's comprehensive, but not for the impatient reader. Anyhow, after two months of daily reading, I just reached the description of Sherman's Tennessee-through-Georgia campaign and Foote's account of Kennesaw Mountain. I can in no way imagine myself doing what those (mostly) young men did, marching directly into massed musket and cannon fire over a half-mile or more of open ground -- uphill, no less. The privations that soldiers on both sides (moreso the Confederates by far) endured are far beyond what any modern military personnel have to suffer through, though, obviously, combat is never easy and by definition means you could both lose your life or also have to kill another person. This was an excellent presentation, thanks for making it!

Smart commanders went around such emplacements! The fact that men were sent into such things, shows how there was absolutely no concern for human life! Sherman was part of the old guard, and employed outdated tactics from a different time when static skirmish lines were possible because of the inaccuracy of weapons of the time!

I am SO thankful you do these documentary's!!! I have learned a LOT watching them. You cover much stuff that tv documentary's don't cover. God willing, there is a small group of us from my old unit that will go back to Vietnam next year to cover 2 places we were at, the Khe Sahn Combat Base and the Lang Vei Special Forces Camp. If we do get to make the trip, would you like to go along with us??

Oh my gosh. If I could swing it, I’d love to go to Vietnam. Maybe shoot me an email (found in the About tab).

@@TheHistoryUnderground If indeed we can go, provided this covid crap lets up, your transportation is covered. You'll be our guest on the flight. We are still working out logistics with the Army as it'll be a transport of theirs we ride on. Even in retirement, rank has it's privilege's Your only expense will be food and lodging, whichwon't be very expensive as much of our food will be local and we all have 2-man tents when out in the field. Myself I'm only planning on about $300 in cash which we exchange once in country. Not to worry, this won't be an expensive operation. We go, you'll need to by out a store FULL of bug dope!!!!.

This is almost my backyard. Pretty accurate history there. I wish you would have shown the monument in more detail. It's really a sight to behold. It was erected in 1914 to honor the fallen union soldiers, made from GA marble, its over 20 feet tall and cost 25k dollars to build in 1914! After having been there and seen it, I'm sure you would agree that monument was a feat itself just getting all that out there! You've gotten another sub, my friend! Keep up the good work!

@@TheHistoryUnderground Awesome! GA has a lot of cool history, especially Savannah, Sherman didn't burn Savannah so there's some really cool history down there. The Etowah indian mounds up in north ga are really cool too, Ft Pulaski, the civil war naval museum in Columbus... There's so much forgotten history in all of our backyards. I really appreciate you bring this to the world. Awesome stuff.

Great history! Thank you and keep going!!

Just catching up on your videos (I really enjoy your channel) and you mentioned a tunnel built to blow up the earth works. In a recent biography of Grant there was a story of the Union doing the same thing (with awful results) near Richmond, VA. Keep up the good work!

Now I really want to do a civil war tour Gettysburg is always been on my bucket list but the place is you've been are now on my bucket list. When I lived in South Carolina I wish I had done more to me the clay down there the Red dirt reminded me that the civil war soaked the Earth in blood both Union and Confederate and you bring everything back to life thank you for all you do!

My house is on part of the Kennesaw Mountain battlefield. The earthworks are everywhere. The information about the "truce" is fascinating as well. Hard to imagine.
