At least, that was the recollection decades later of a young man who had lived through those tumultuous times. In 1897 journalist Wallace Putnam Reed published an article in the Atlanta Journal sharing his memories of the Christmas of 1863 in Atlanta. That was the last Christmas before a particularly unwelcome visitor by the name of General William Tecumseh Sherman, along with about 100,000 of his rowdy friends, came to town.

Sherman received official confirmation that his Federals had captured the vital industrial and railroad city of Atlanta. Federal Maj Gen Sherman Image Credit The fires and explosions caused by Confederates evacuating from Atlanta continued into the early morning of the 2nd. Sherman, the overall Federal commander, ordered his forces south of town to renew their attack on Lieutenant General William Hardee’s isolated Confederate corps on the Macon & Western Railroad. However, the Federals learned that Hardee had withdrawn southeastward, linking with the rest of General John Bell Hood’s Army of Tennessee at Lovejoy’s Station. Major General John Schofield, commanding the Federal Army of the Ohio, informed Sherman at 1025 that a black resident had just reported that the Confederates were leaving Atlanta “in great confusion and disorder.” Sherman initially doubted the report, opting instead to confront the Confederates at Lovejoy’s. During this time, Major General Henry W. Slocum, commanding the lone Federal corps still north of Atlanta, directed part of his force to enter the city after hearing the explosions throughout the morning. Mayor James M. Calhoun consulted with city officials before they rode out under white flags to confer with the advancing Federals. Calhoun met the lead division commander and declared, “Sir, the fortunes of war have placed the city of Atlanta in your hands. As mayor of the city I ask protection for noncombatants and private property.” Calhoun and the Atlanta delegation surrendered the city at 11 The Federal commander passed the word back to Slocum and then led his troops into the city. They skirmished with Confederate stragglers, many of whom were drunk. Federal troops raised the flag over City Hall. Slocum entered Atlanta around 2 and telegraphed Washington, “General Sherman has taken Atlanta. The Twentieth Corps occupies the city.” Slocum informed Sherman that Hood had retreated down the McDonough Road, east of the railroad, toward Macon. However, communications between Slocum and Sherman at Lovejoy’s were temporarily cut off, so Sherman was still unaware that Atlanta had fallen. Lieutenant General Ulysses S. Grant, the overall Federal commander, replied to Slocum, “While you are cut off from communication with General Sherman, telegraph your situation daily to General Henry W. Halleck.” Sherman wrote Slocum that he was “very anxious to know the particulars of the capture of Atlanta… as we have rumors to the effect that you now occupy the city.” The Federals below Atlanta probed the Confederate positions at Lovejoy’s but were strongly repulsed. Sherman notified Major General Oliver O. Howard, commanding the Federal Army of the Tennessee, “I do not wish to waste lives by an assault.” He then informed Major General George H. Thomas, commanding the Army of the Cumberland, “Until we hear from Atlanta the exact truth, I do not care about your pushing your men against breastworks.” He urged Thomas to “destroy the railroad well up to your lines. As soon as I know positively that our troops are in Atlanta I will determine what to do.” At 1130 that night, Sherman wrote Schofield, “Nothing positive from Atlanta, and that bothers me.” Sherman finally received confirmation after midnight. He wired Halleck at 6 on the 3rd “Atlanta is ours, and fairly won. I shall not push much farther in this raid, but in a day or so will move to Atlanta and give my men some rest.” News of Atlanta’s capture sparked joyous celebrations throughout the North, along with 100-gun salutes in Washington and dozens of other cities. Grant ordered a 100-gun salute fired into the Confederate trenches under siege at Petersburg. Grant wrote to Sherman “I feel you have accomplished the most gigantic undertaking given to any general in this war, and with a skill and ability that will be acknowledged in history as not surpassed, if not unequalled. It gives me as much pleasure to record this in your favor as it would in favor of any living man, myself included.” The New York Times exalted “Atlanta is ours. The foundries, furnaces, rolling-mills, machine-shops, laboratories and railroad repair-shops; the factories of cannon and small arms; of powder, cartridges and percussion caps; of gun carriages, wagons, ambulances, harnesses, shoes and clothing, which have been accumulated at Atlanta, are ours now.” President Abraham Lincoln jubilantly issued a Proclamation of Thanksgiving and Prayer to be observed on Sunday the 5th for “the signal success that Divine Providence has recently vouchsafed to the operations of the United States fleet and army in the harbor of Mobile and in the reduction of Ft. Powell, Ft. Gaines, and Ft. Morgan… and the glorious achievements of the Army under Major General Sherman… resulting in the capture… of Atlanta.” Taking Atlanta strengthened the Federal fighting spirit and immediately shifted momentum in the upcoming presidential election to Lincoln. Secretary of State William H. Seward predicted that Sherman and Rear Admiral David G. Farragut would defeat the Democrats, who had just met at their national convention in Chicago, by declaring that “Sherman and Farragut have knocked the bottom out of the Chicago platform.” Conversely, the loss of Atlanta demoralized the South, and crucial industrial resources in the heart of Confederate territory were permanently lost. This virtually sealed the Confederacy’s fate. An editorial in the Richmond Enquirer stated that the disastrous loss of Atlanta came “in the very nick of time when a victory alone could save the party of Lincoln from irretrievable ruin… It will obscure the prospect of peace, late so bright. It will also diffuse gloom over the South.” However, Sherman had not yet succeeded in his primary mission, which was to destroy the Army of Tennessee. The Federals continued probing Hood’s positions at Lovejoy’s Station but otherwise allowed the Confederates to regroup and concentrate. Sherman’s four-month campaign had included nonstop maneuvering and fighting, during which the Federals had suffered nearly 35,000 casualties. This number was light due to Sherman’s expert flanking maneuvers. The Confederates lost roughly the same amount, but their losses were irreplaceable, and the Army of Tennessee was no longer an effective fighting force. Nevertheless, Hood resolved to fight on. —– References Angle, Paul M., A Pictorial History of the Civil War Years New York Doubleday, 1967, p. 179-80; Bailey, Ronald H., The Battles for Atlanta Sherman Moves East Alexandria, VA Time-Life Books, 1983, p. 147-48, 151-54; Crocker III, The Politically Incorrect Guide to the Civil War Washington Regnery Publishing, 2008, p. 83-84; Davis, Jefferson, The Rise and Fall of the Confederate Government All Volumes Heraklion Press, Kindle Edition 2013, 1889, Loc 20956; Denney, Robert E., The Civil War Years A Day-by-Day Chronicle New York Gramercy Books, 1992 [1998 edition], p. 453; Donald, David Herbert, Lincoln Simon & Schuster, Kindle Edition, 2011, Loc 11313; Foote, Shelby, The Civil War A Narrative Volume 3 Red River to Appomattox Vintage Civil War Library, Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group, Kindle Edition, 2011, Kindle Locations 11072-124, 11585-95; Fredriksen, John C., Civil War Almanac New York Checkmark Books, 2007, p. 493; Goodwin, Doris Kearns, Team of Rivals The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln New York Simon and Schuster, 2005, p. 654-55; Linedecker, Clifford L. ed., The Civil War A to Z Ballantine Books, 2002, p. 22-23; Long, with Long, Barbara, The Civil War Day by Day New York Da Capo Press, Inc., 1971, p. 564-66; Longacre, Edward G., Historical Times Illustrated Encyclopedia of the Civil War New York Harper & Row, 1986, Patricia L.

Grant doing between his victory at Chattanooga on November 25, 1863, and his promotion to Lieutenant General four months later? History books rarely mention this section of time before Grant later faced Confederate General Robert E. Lee in Virginia. However, General Grant was already preparing for his next move during this crucial time and contemplating a possible move from the western theater of the Civil War to the eastern theater. In the winter of 1864, General Grant was doing reconnaissance for an eventual campaign to take the southern railway city of Atlanta, Georgia. Civil War enthusiasts know the frequently told story of Atlanta falling to General William T. Sherman in September 1864, but General Grant initially made plans to capture Atlanta himself. During his reconnaissance, Grant traveled long distances to inspect possible supply routes that could be used to shuffle men and supplies to the front in Georgia. One of those possible supply routes could run through the Cumberland Gap, which sat across the borders of Kentucky, Virginia and Tennessee. In January 1864, Grant traveled to the Gap to find out for himself if the mountain pass would make a good supply route for his plans. Not long after Grant’s victory in Chattanooga, he decided to move his headquarters to Nashville, Tennessee. Grant moved his headquarters because he believed “remaining at Chattanooga I was liable to have my telegraphic communications cut so as to throw me out of communication with both my command and Washington.” Grant saw Nashville as “the most central point from which to communicate with my entire military division, and also the authorities at Washington.” Grant’s plans encompassed more than just the capture of Atlanta. Grant proclaimed, “I expected to retain the command I then had, and I prepared myself for the campaign against Atlanta. I also had great hopes of having a campaign against Mobile from the Gulf. I expected after Atlanta fell to occupy that place permanently and to cut off Lee’s army from the West . . .” Grant might have succeeded in taking Atlanta and Mobile, but his Commander-in-Chief had other plans. President Abraham Lincoln decided to promote Grant to Lt. General, the first officer since George Washington to hold that rank permanently. Grant and Lincoln decided that it would be best for him to accompany General George G. Meade’s Army of the Potomac in their pursuit of Robert E. Lee in Virginia. General Sherman would take over operations in the western theater and lead the charge to Georgia. Before his promotion, however, Grant made his long trek through the rugged terrain of eastern Tennessee, and eastern Kentucky. Grant left from Knoxville, Tennessee, and moved north towards the Cumberland Gap in January 1864 during an intensely cold winter. Grant wrote a letter to his wife Julia before leaving Knoxville stating that, “I very much fear the enemy intend holding a position in this country for the Winter and to make this the great battle field [sic] in the Spring.” The weather in Knoxville reminded him of his pre-war Army days in Sacketts Harbor, New York, in the 1840s and 1850s. It was so bitterly cold that Grant remembered “the thermometer being down as low as zero every morning for more than a week while I was at Knoxville, and on my way from there on horseback to Lexington, Kentucky . . .” The biting cold, combined with the bad roads, made it one of Grant’s toughest rides as he made his way towards Lexington, the city he needed to reach to catch a train back to his headquarters in Nashville. However, before he reached the Bluegrass region of Kentucky, he would need to make a stop at Cumberland Gap to inspect the troops as well as the road conditions leading through the Gap. What Grant found when he arrived at Cumberland Gap was not pleasant. The roads he wanted to use for moving men and supplies were some of the worst he had seen. Grant said, “The road over Cumberland Gap, and back of it, was strewn with debris of broken wagons and dead animals . . . The road had been cut up to as great a depth as clay could be by mules and wagons, and in that condition frozen; so that the ride of six days from Strawberry Plains to Lexington over these holes and knobs in the road was a very cheerless one, and very disagreeable.” The Army of the Ohio had been using the Gap as a supply route for some time, and now the route that Grant had considered as a trail to move supplies was looking very bleak. Grant mentioned that many of the Army of the Ohio’s “animals had nearly all starved” trying to pull supplies through the Gap. After seeing the roads at the Cumberland Gap, Grant realized that his ambitious plans for a supply route in this area would not work. He headed for Lexington to catch the train, and many people came out to see Grant as he rode towards central Kentucky. Grant remarked that “I found a great many people at home along that route, both in Tennessee and Kentucky, and almost universally, intensely loyal.” Many people in the mountains had been very pro-Union during the war. Grant, however, left the mountains behind to begin his leadership of all Union armies in Virginia.
