An original albumen photograph titled "RESACA, GA.," capturing the north Georgia railroad town at the heart of the Battle of Resaca, May 13–15, 1864 — the opening major engagement of Sherman's Atlanta Campaign. The view looks across open ground to a cluster of frame and brick buildings set among the trees, the bed of the Western & Atlantic Railroad, and the ridgelines beyond: the contested high ground that forced General Joseph E. Johnston to abandon Resaca and continue his fighting retreat toward Atlanta.

The image belongs to the celebrated body of campaign-route photography made in the mid-1860s to document Sherman's march through Georgia — work led by George N. Barnard, official photographer to the Military Division of the Mississippi, whose Photographic Views of Sherman's Campaign (1866) recorded Resaca across several plates.

The albumen print measures approximately 13½ x 10¼ in., double-matted behind glass with a separate printed "RESACA, GA." title strip and housed in an oak frame measuring approximately 17¼ x 20 in. Rich, warm tonality with light age-toning and foxing as shown. A striking and eminently displayable view of one of the Atlanta Campaign's pivotal battlegrounds.      [ss] [ph:L]
