BATTLE OF EZRA CHAPEL

The Battle of Ezra Chapel, Georgia, occurred on July the 28th 1864 during the American Civil War when Hood, leading about 30,000 Confederates from his entrenchments in Atlanta, which was then invested by Sherman's Army of the Tennessee, advanced against the Federal troops, consisting of three corps under William Sherman and Logan. The Federals were engaged in throwing up earthworks, but stopped hastily and received Hood's charge staunchly. Hood was defeated with great loss and forced back to his fortifications within the town.
