Excerpt from The Road Past Kennesaw: The Atlanta Campaign of 1864 The Atlanta Campaign had an importance reaching beyond the immediate military and political consequences. It was conducted in a manner that helped establish a new mode of warfare. From beginning to end, it was a railroad campaign, in that a major transportation center was the prize for which the contestants vied, and both sides used rail lines to marshal, shift, and sustain their forces. Yanks and Rebs made some use of repeating rifles, and Confederate references to shooting down moving bushes indicate resort to camouflage by Sherman's soldiers. The Union commander maintained a command post under signal tree at Kennesaw Mountain and directed the movement of his forces through a net of telegraph lines running out to subordinate head quarters. Men oi both armies who early in the war had looked askance at the employment of pick and shovel, now, as a matter of course, promptly scooped out protective ditches at each change of position.
