	New Georgia Encyclopedia: Battle of Kennesaw Mountain
		On June 27, 1864, Kennesaw Mountain, located about twenty miles northwest of Atlanta in Cobb County, became the scene for one of the Atlanta Campaign's major actions in the U.S. Civil War (1861-65).
		These fears were allayed at Kennesaw Mountain in late June, where Sherman believed that his opponent had finally made a mistake and that a well-executed attack could crush the Army of Tennessee and open the way to Atlanta.
		Indeed, the Confederates were arranged in a large semicircle that stretched eight miles from Kolb's Farm in the south to Kennesaw Mountain in the north.
