Okay, I'm trying to disect the difference between the Battle of Kennesaw Mountain (June 27, 1864) and a later Battle of Big Shanty that occurred on October 6, 1864 after the fall of Atlanta.
I'm reading an account of the 22nd Mississippi and it says they moved up to attack the Federate fort at Big Shanty but discontinued after fighting all day.
Q: Where did this battle take place?
I see Big Shanty is located on the RR between Allatoona and Marietta, and north of Kennesaw Mountain. My resource said the Confederates attacked the Federal fort.
Q: Was the Federal Fort located at this Camp McDonald? Or was it a fort built near the RR tracks?
Q: What was the order of battle for both the Union and Confederates?
Was it a small engagement of a division on each side or maybe smaller? What units?
