取代约瑟夫.姜斯顿的是33岁的德克萨斯人约翰.贝尔.胡德。

谢尔曼把35岁的詹姆斯.麦克弗森的部队派到城东。

麦克弗森是谢尔曼手下备受青睐的一个——
McPherson was a special favorite of Sherman's--
英俊，热诚，足智多谋。
handsome, warm-hearted, intelligent.
谢尔曼预言，“假以时日，他会远超格兰特和我。”
"If he lives," Sherman predicted, "he'll outdistance Grant and myself."
北方的报纸为北军的推进而欢呼，

谢尔曼用一面国旗盖住他年轻朋友的尸体，他哭了。
Sherman covered the body of his young friend with an American flag and wept.
“谢尔曼有一种在重大责任和动情时刻
"Sherman had the rare faculty of remaining calm
“保持镇定的罕见本领。
"under great responsibilities and scenes of great excitement.
“在那样的时刻，他的反常不见了。
"At such times, his eccentricities disappeared.
“当那一天麦克弗森倒在亚特兰大城下时，
"His mind seemed never so clear, his confidence never so strong,
“他的头脑从未如此清醒，信心从未如此坚定，
"his spirit never so inspiring in the crisis of some fierce struggle,
“他的精神在激烈斗争的危急关头从未如此振奋。”
like that of the day when McPherson fell in front of Atlanta."
雅各布.D.考克斯将军

[炮声]
[cannon fire]
“为麦克弗森报仇，兄弟们，为麦克弗森报仇，”
