Framed Battle of Kenesaw Mountain Georgia, June 27, 1864 by Kurz and Allison

Battle of Kenesaw Mountain, Georgia, June 27, 1864 by Kurz and Allison depicts General William T. Sherman’s failed frontal assault against Confederate General Joseph E. Johnston’s entrenched forces during the Atlanta Campaign. The print shows Union soldiers charging up the slopes under heavy fire, flags raised high amid smoke, cannon blasts, and chaotic combat, while Confederates defend from fortified positions. As with much of Kurz and Allison’s work, the scene emphasizes color, action, and patriotic heroism rather than strict battlefield accuracy, offering the public a stirring visual record of one of the war’s bloodiest engagements.
