Doctor davis drew on his experience this morning when he spoke to 450 High Schoolers ever so effectively. Hes taken it upon himself to attend virtually all of the eight lectures weve had thus far in this series. And hes been so very conscientious in communicating with us about what he wanted to say to you tonight and to our students earlier today. Im not sure i can do justice to his passion for the civil war in the Atlanta Campaign. His pieces have appeared in a number of scholarly and popular publications, including the civil war times illustrated and the georgia historical quarterly. He was the book review editor for blue and gray magazine for 11 years. His 2001 book, atlanta will fall, is highly respected. And his most recent book, what the excuse me what the yankees did to us, shermans bombardment and wrecking of atlanta, has been described as one expert as the most wellresearched and detailed account ever written about the fall of atlanta. In 2013, the Georgia Writers Association

Believe that if those black regiments had been allowed to lead the assault, that would have been it. In other words, we can imagine black soldiers marching, charging over blanford hill, right, into petersburg. Thats a very soothing image. I think that tells us more about how we want to remember the war than the battle itself, because anyone who has studied civil war battles, they never go as planned. Right . Theres always something that goes afoul. So is it any surprise that given this massive detonation that no one really can predict what it will do to the landscape and whats beyond it. Remember, its not just that front confederate line they have to deal with. This is a complex sort of maze of bombproofs, traverses. Part of the problem is in the 1920s, the crater battlefield was an 18hole golf course. So a lot of that battlefield has been smoothed over in one way or the other. You really are hardpressed to get a sense of what it would have looked like in the 1860s. So would it have ch
