In the predawn hours of June 27, 1864, Union officers received an order from Gen. William Tecumseh Sherman to assault Confederate forces entrenched along the Kennesaw Mountain line, anchored by an imposing precipice known as the “Gibraltar of Georgia.” Sherman’s mission: capture Atlanta, a critical Confederate rail center and industrial hub. The film Kennesaw: One Last Mountain (2013; 35 minutes) brings this dramatic Civil War story to life. A discussion featuring Executive Producer Adam Eisenberg and Anthony Winegar, Chief Ranger at Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park, will follow. Presented in partnership with the National Park Service.
