37 Weeks: Sherman On The March - Week 12

In early July 1864, Sherman's army cuts across Atlanta's final defender: the Chattahoochee River. Outflanked, Johnston retreats and burns the railroad bridge in his wake. Johnston's men still trust him, despite his months-long inability to outmaneuver the enemy. While Sherman closes in, Atlanta's women face the realities of war as nurses to the injured and dying. Civilians prepare for the worst.
