The Battle Continues

Just a few miles north of where we are staying is the Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park. 

From the top of Kennesaw Mountain the downtown area of Atlanta can be seen if you can make it out through the haze.

While not exceptionally high, this mountain has very steep sides and it is difficult to imagine an army staging an assault against the Confederates strongly entrenched at the top.

We were fortunate to be in Atlanta during the 150th anniversary of the Civil War Battle for Atlanta.  Unfortunately, we missed the reenactment of the battle at Kennesaw Mountain by two days.  Timing was never one of our strong points.
