On the lines near Atlanta
[ca. 1864–1865]
From "War Memories" catalog: This is the "Potter House" on the Rebel lines near Atlanta. The sharpshooters of the enemy posted themselves in the upper rooms and on the roof of this house overlooking the Union lines, and thus greatly annoying our troops and killing many of our men, during the battle of July 22, 1864. Finally a battery of light artillery was brought up, and quickly made the house untenable for sharpshooters or anyone else.
