Some of the text in this Vintage Ad:
“Future years will never know the seething hell and the black infernal background of countless minor scenes and interiors…and it is best they should not. The real war will never get into the book.”
Walt Whitman
“Specimen Days”
Atlanta
Where you stand inside a painting and see the face of courage
The beautiful city of Atlanta, Georgia, proudly calls
herself "Gate City to the South." But in 1864, when
Union General William Tecumseh Sherman's
troops stormed up to that gate, she slammed it shut
and kept it barred for five desperate, besieged weeks.
All the heroism of that defense has been captured
forever in the world's largest painting and diorama,
the Atlanta Cyclorama in Grant Park. Stand within
its 400-foot circumference and the battle surrounds
you as the armies surrounded Atlanta at 3 :30 P.M.,
July 22,1864. Your view point is from the Georgia
Railroad's Moreland Avenue crossing; looking
south, you see Confederate General Ben Cheatham's
men charging the Federal XVII Corps. To the
north, General John A. Logan gallops up to restore
the broken Union line. Northeast, flying above the
battle smoke from Decatur, "Old Abe," the eagle
mascot of the 8th Wisconsin, screams defiance, and
looming in the distance, there's Stone Mountain
18 miles away.
This mountain is one of the earth's largest blocks
of exposed granite. On its face is being carved the
most majestic statue of the Civil \Var. You see
Robert E. Lee, "Stonewall" Jackson and Jeff Davis
in proportions that match their places in history.
The statue is not yet finished. Neither is the task
So nobly advanced by the men and boys, North and
South, whose devotion to duty was so courageously
proved on Civil War battlefields. That task is the
never-ending defense and preservation of America's
freedoms. It is a task to which this generation, as
did theirs, must give mind and hand and heart, without
stint and without fear.
