The answers to the questions for Week 3:

11. In early October 1864, a large supply depot at Allatoona, GA, garrisoned by about 900 Federals under the command of Lt. Col. John E Tourtelotte was threatened by 3,000 soldiers of Hood’s army under the command of Maj. Gen. Samuel G. French. General Sherman ordered Brig. Gen. John M. Corse to reinforce Tourtelotte, but there was a question as to whether Corse’s force of 1,000 men would arrive before French attacked. At Kenesaw Mountain, about 16 miles away, Sherman with more reinforcements, fretted. Finally signal flags from Allatoona spelled out the letters , translated as “Corse is here”.
