"Kennesaw Mountain is, I should think, about 700 feet high, and consists of two points or peaks, separated by a narrow gorge running across the top. The mountain itself is entirely separated from all mountain ranges, and swells up like a great bulb from the plane." -- an Illinois soldier's first remarks on the area. "The scene was enchanting; too beautiful to be disturbed by the harsh clamor of war," he was to say, years later; "but the Chattahoochee lay beyond, and I had to reach it." -- William T. Sherman, U.S.A.
