Page removed from the album "Photographic Views of the Sherman Campaign." Large road in the foreground is littered with tree debris. Logs lie in piles on either side of the road. A man sits on a fallen tree trunk on the right side of the road. Buzzard Roost refers to a gap between the mountains north of Resaca, Georgia through which Union General William T. Sherman directed two columns to meet Confederate troops during the May 9, 1864 Battle of Rocky Face Ridge. The 5-day battle lasted from May 7 - May 13 and resulted in a Union victory.
