	Allatoona
		The pass of Allatoona, the scene of General John M. core's stubborn fight to " hold the fort," in October, 1864, is a narrow railroad cut through the Allatoona range of mountains.
		The actual field of battle was the line of heights, cut into almost equal eastern and western halves by the beginning of the pass.
		The battle was won, and Corse was able to telegraph to Sherman, " I am short a cheek-bone and ear, but am able to whip all hell yet!" He added with pathetic truthfulness, "My losses are very heavy." The little redoubt was encumbered by the dead.

		Allatoona Pass in the Fall of 1864 was a small town with eight homes, some small stores, a railroad depot, and Union supply warehouses.
		Casualties on both sides at Battle of Allatoona Pass were high, with the Union forces suffering 36% casualties, and the Confederates suffering 27% (can you imagine a modern battle involving U.S. forces with 30% casualties!)
