37 Weeks
Week 06 (May 26th - June 1st)
Episode 6 | 1m 45sVideo has Closed Captions
The armies launch attacks across a 10-mile fortification and sustain heavy casualties.
In the last week of May, 1864, Johnston’s Confederate army forms a defensive line that extends through Dallas from New Hope Church to Pickett’s Mill. Soldiers build dense fortifications of dirt and logs to protect their heads. Assaulting these is suicide; yet the Union advances, meeting heavy casualties. The fight at New Hope is named “The Hell Hole.” Attrition stalls Sherman’s advance on Atlanta.
