Summary "The Battle of Allatoona, October 5th, 1864" by William Ludlow is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This book provides a detailed examination of one of the significant battles during the American Civil War, highlighting the strategic importance of Allatoona for General Sherman's campaign. It serves to document an often-overlooked yet fiercely contested conflict, revealing the perspectives of both Union and Confederate forces. The narrative delves into the battle's background, including the deployment of troops, fortifications established at Allatoona, and the tactical maneuvers by both sides. Ludlow details the buildup to the confrontation, the intense fighting that ensued, and the valor displayed by soldiers on both sides, especially focusing on Colonel John Corse's leadership in defending the Union position against a larger Confederate force led by General French. The account portrays the chaos of battle, the high stakes involved with supply lines, and the ultimate importance of the Union's success at Allatoona, which was crucial for Sherman's subsequent campaign.
