During the Atlanta Campaign, there are over 75 engagements involved. I am going to list the major occasions, battles and commander changes below. I will research the battles and give more specific pages on these, but only mention the changes in command with links to the commander in the website.
If you have any questions, please notify me and I will attempt to answer them to the best of knowledge.
May 4: Maj. Gen. Frank P. Blair, Jr. assumes command of the XVII Army Corps
June 27: Battle of Kennesaw Mountain
​
July 18: Lieut. Gen. John B. Hood assumes command of the Army of Tennessee
July 20: Battle of Peachtree Creek
​
There is not an Order of Battle for each specific action taken during the Atlanta Campaign, so I will list the complete Union and Confederate Order of Battle for the Campaign. I will then create an Order of Battle for each action I have researched based on the Official Records which are vast.
