Description: | A photograph of Confederate fortifications outside Atlanta in Georgia, America, taken by G N Barnard (1819-1902) in about 1865. This photograph is from an album entitled 'Canada and the United States.1867' by John Downes Rochfort (1825-1885), who toured Canada and America in 1867. The Union Army besieged Atlanta from July 1864, finally capturing it in September despite the formidable defences shown in this photograph. The siege was part of the bitter campaign fought by General Sherman known as the March to the Sea. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Subjects: | photograph | Temporal: | 1864 | Source: | Science Museum | Creator: | George N Barnard (1819-1902) | Identifier: | 1995-5001/1/84 | Go to resource |
