St. Mary's Church | Staunton River Bridge | Kennesaw Mountain

We have three battles this week as we continue on with the Siege Of Petersburg and the Atlanta Campaign. First up, the battle of St. Mary's Church on June 24th, 1864 as Union forces try to protect a wagon train headed for the James River. This was the last battle of the Overland Campaign.  At the battle of Staunton River Bridge on June 25th, Grant sent troops to try and destroy Confederate rail lines to cut Lee's supplies.  Our final battle of the day, Kennesaw Mountain of the Atlanta Campaign on June 27th saw Union Major General William T. Sherman's most significant frontal assault of the campaign. The Confederates hope to stall Sherman's march to Atlanta.  Subscribe to our YouTube! youtube.com/@bangdangnetwork
