Written by James, the former Captain of the 52nd Ohio Volunteer Infantry, and later Brevet Major United States Volunteers. The 52nd Ohio was in the 14th Corps. Fold out black and white map of Kenesaw Mountain, Georgia on 27 June 1864, which marks where each unit was. Contains an account of the battle and pertinent correspondence at the end. Seems like original paper wrappers, with tape on spine.
