Grenville Dodge: “Many thanks to the Union ladies of that country, for they saved many a brave soldier from a horrible death.”

I have heard of brave acts, but such determined pluck I never before dreamed of.

It was during this ambulance trip, while lying on my back, that I received a telegraphic dispatch from General Halleck notifying me of my promotion for services in this battle.

That Army held or commanded the entire battle-field, demonstrating the fact that the Army of the Tennessee alone was able and competent to meet and defeat Hood's entire Army.

Historians and others who have written of the Battle of Atlanta have been misled by being governed in their data by the first dispatches of General Sherman, who was evidently misinformed, as he afterwards corrected his dispatches.
