This album includes "Sherman and his Generals" and most of Sherman's campaign from Chattanooga, through Atlanta and Kennesaw Mountain, Peach Tree Creek, Columbia, S.C., and views of Charleston and Fort Sumter. The image of John Ross's home appears to be that of Cherokee Indian chief John Ross, who left the house during the Trail of Tears.
