  Notes for JAMES MORRIS ISBELL:
      James died in the Civil War, on the side of the Union, at the Battle of Kennesaw Mountain in Georgia.

from the Internet:

"Kennesaw Mountain Georgia Civil War Battle
American Civil War
June 27, 1864
      On the night of June 18-19, Gen. Joseph E. Johnston, fearing envelopment,
withdrew his army to a new, previously selected position astride Kennesaw
Mountain. This entrenched arc-shaped line, to the north and west of
Marietta, protected the Western & Atlantic Railroad, the supply link to
Atlanta. Having defeated General John B. Hood troops at Kolb's Farm on the 22nd,
Sherman was sure that Johnston had stretched his line too thin and,
therefore, decided on a frontal attack with some diversions on the flanks.

      On the morning of June 27, Sherman sent his troops forward after an
artillery bombardment. At first, they made some headway overrunning
Confederate pickets south of the Burnt Hickory Road, but attacking an
enemy that was dug in was futile. The fighting ended by noon, and Sherman
suffered high casualties.
Result(s): Confederate victory
Location: Cobb County
Campaign: Atlanta Campaign (1864)
Date(s): June 27, 1864
Principal Commanders: Maj. Gen. William T. Sherman [US]; Gen. Joseph E.
Johnston [CS]
Forces Engaged: Military Division of the Mississippi [US]; Army of
Tennessee [CS]
Estimated Casualties: 4,000 total (US 3,000; CS 1,000)



The Kennesaw Mountain Southern Red Oak stands in a 2,883-acre national
park northwest of Atlanta, Georgia. The park commemorates one of the few Civil War victories for the
Confederate Army during Union General William T. Sherman's bloody March To
The Sea. Confederate General Joseph E. Johnston turned back Sherman's
advance on June 27, 1864, at Kennesaw Mountain. But the victory was
short-lived, and by the end of 1864, Sherman had burned much of Atlanta
and had completed his March To The Sea. Each year acorns are hand-picked
to produce these authentic direct-offspring trees."
