M., of the day appointed, the troops moved to the assault, and all along our lines for ten miles a furious fire of artillery and musketry was kept up. At all points the enemy met us with determined courage and in great force. McPherson's attacking column fought up the face of the lesser Kennesaw; but could not reach the summit. * * * By ir.30 the assault was in fact over and had failed. We had not broken the rebel line at either point." Such is substantially CJeneral Sherman's brief description... of this battle, as beheld from the Federal stand-point. Taking ourselves back, however, to the day of the great struggle, and viewing it from the summit of Kennesaw, it is stated by those who participated in it, as having presented one of the grandest scenes which the page of war unfolds. Here, beginning among the hills east of Kennesaw Mountain, and running westward to and across the Western & Atlantic Railroad, and up the ridge to the summits; thence, around the front side and crests of both peaks near the base of the lesser Kennesaw; thence, turning southward, and extending through the comparatively level country for some three miles or more, was the Confederate line of entrenchments.
