Dallas GA011

supportedunresolved Cox says Johnston, suspecting the Union right was withdrawing, ordered Hardee to reconnoitre in force, and that the fire that met Armstrong's dismounted cavalry made each brigade commander think the others were engaged, so each assaulted. Logan says deserters told him Johnston was near Dallas in force, and that his later withdrawal deceived the enemy. NPS says the probe sought a weakness or withdrawal.

Attributed knowledge from interested accounts and a summary; no message log inspected.

supportedunresolved Logan says his corps rested at Kingston until twenty days' supplies had been procured. Cox says supply trains were to be concentrated at Burnt Hickory. NPS says the cavalry occupied Allatoona Pass on June 1, where the railroad would bring men and supplies.

Supply statements from interested accounts and a summary; no supply return inspected.

supportedunresolved Cox says Sherman decided to transfer troops from his right to his left to gain the Ackworth road and the railroad. Logan says the intended withdrawal of May 29 was to move the Army of the Tennessee left to connect with the Army of the Cumberland. NPS says Sherman kept looking for a way around Johnston's line.

Stated plans from interested accounts and a summary; not a causal estimate.

supportedpost_outcome The frozen and live results read Union victory. Cox says the attack was repulsed after half an hour with terrible loss, and Logan that line after line was sent back broken. Logan says the enemy had evacuated his works by daylight on June 5, after the frozen interval.

Retain the original result and engagement interval; later movements and campaign contribution are different measures. No new probabilities or individual causal credit. The June 5 evacuation is later context.

disputedpost_outcome The frozen casualty text reads 5,400 (US 2,400; CS 3,000); the live field reads 1880 (US 380; CS 1500). Logan reports his corps' loss as 30 killed, 295 wounded and 54 missing, aggregate 379; says he took 97 prisoners and buried over 300 Confederate dead; and estimates the enemy loss at 2,000. Cox repeats Logan's figures, says the Sixteenth Corps losses were not separately enumerated, and notes Johnston's statement of Bate's loss as some three hundred killed and wounded.

Original casualty returns were not inspected; preserve totals, categories, cutoffs and differences. No canonical reconciliation or casualty-based opening count; related actions must not be added without resolving population overlap. Logan's 379 covers the Fifteenth Corps only; the live US 380 is close to it, but the frozen US 2,400 has no inspected basis.

supportedunresolved Cox says the Confederate signal error cost them dear, and that McPherson judged it impracticable to move that night, so Sherman delayed the transfer. Logan credits Walcutt, standing on the parapet. NPS names Logan's corps as the defender. The frozen commanders are General Joseph E. Johnston and Major General William T. Sherman; the live page gives General William Sherman and Lieutenant Colonel Joseph Johnston.

Attributed judgments from interested accounts; Hardee, Bate, McPherson and Logan are not listed commanders; the frozen commanders do not receive automatic sole credit, and the live ranks are not adopted.

No inspected return establishes matched personnel at a common opening boundary. The frozen side-specific numerical strength bounds are blank (missing_numeric_strength). No figure in this pass is adopted as a simultaneous opening force.

disputedunresolved The frozen force fields name the Military Division of Mississippi and the Army of Tennessee without counts; the live field reads zero. Logan says the attack of the 28th was made by Hardee's entire command, which prisoners estimated at 25,000. Cox says Hardee sent Bate's division out on a forced reconnaissance, its three brigades in separate columns, and that Union superiority in numbers let the entrenchments be held with part of the force. NPS says Hardee's corps probed the line.

Prisoners' estimate against a history naming one division; no count of troops engaged is inspected and none is adopted. The live zero is not measured absence.

supportedunresolved Logan says the first assault came down the Villa Rica road, the weakest point of his position, where the enemy got within 150 yards unseen, and that his works were thrown up during the night of the 26th. Cox says McPherson did not extend far enough to include the highest crest of the ridge and that the Confederate flank was refused at a salient in front of Dallas.

Ground described by interested accounts; no map verification. The Union works were built during the operation and are not tagged inherited.
