911, REVIEW OF REVIEWS CO. THE RUIN OF HOODS RETREAT—DEMOLISHED CARS AND ROLLING-MILL On the night of August 31st, in his headquarters near Jonesboro, Sherman could not sleep. That dayhe had defeated the force sent against him at Jonesboro and cut them off from returning to Atlanta. Thiswas Hoods last effort to save his communications. About midnight sounds of exploding shells and whatseemed like volleys of musketry arose in the direction of Atlanta. The day had been exciting in that city.Supplies and ammunition that Hood could carry with him were being removed; large quantities of pro-visions were being distributed among the citizens, and as the troops marched out they were allowed totake what they could from the public stores. All that remained was destroyed. The noise that Shermanheard that night was the blowing up of the rolling-mill and of about a hundred cars and six engines loadedwith Hoods abandoned ammunition. The picture shows the Georgia Central Railroad east of the town.
