Page removed from the album "Photographic Views of the Sherman Campaign." Entrenchments in the foreground with distant view of small town or village. Wagon tracks criss-cross across the image. The sky has been double-printed. Resaca was the site of a May 13-15, 1864 battle between Union forces led by General William T. Sherman and Confederate troops commanded by General Joseph E. Johnston. Sherman employed a flanking technique that proved successful in overpowering Johnston's command, winning the battle for the Union.
