Kolb's Farm GA014

disputedunresolved Cox says prisoners taken in the skirmishing belonged to Hood's corps and reported Hood and Hardee ready to attack, so Hooker and Schofield ordered breastworks, and that Gallup's advanced regiment learned from prisoners that Hood's corps had just arrived. Hood says he was attacked while establishing his line after Ferguson's cavalry was driven back. NPS says Schofield and Hooker were warned and entrenched.

Attributed knowledge from interested accounts and a summary; Hood's framing of who attacked conflicts with Cox and NPS. No message log inspected.

No battle-specific supply, ammunition or transport return was inspected. Retrospective descriptions are not readiness measures. The inspected passages describe June supply and mud generally, not this action.

disputedunresolved Cox says Johnston moved Hood's corps from right to left because of concern for the Marietta and Powder Springs road, and that Hood, apparently on his own responsibility, hoped to outflank the Union army and catch it in motion. NPS says Hood decided on his own to attack. Hood's report says he was attacked and moved forward.

Stated or attributed aims; Hood's own account does not claim an intended attack. Not a causal estimate.

disputedpost_outcome The frozen and live results read Union victory. Cox says the repulse was complete and the Confederates retreated to their entrenchments. Hood's report that night says he drove the enemy back, taking one line of breastworks and part of a second, and his corps report says the divisions drove the enemy from two lines of works. NPS says Sherman's envelopment had momentarily failed.

Retain the original result and engagement interval; later movements and campaign contribution are different measures. No new probabilities or individual causal credit. Hood's account of taking works conflicts with Cox and the frozen result.

disputedpost_outcome The frozen and live casualty texts read 1,350 (US 350; CS 1,000). Cox says Johnston admitted a loss of about a thousand, that Williams reported 130, Geary's loss was trifling and Hascall's about the same as Williams's, and that nearly sixty Confederate dead lay before Gallup's regiment. Hood's note gives no totals.

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. Cox's Union components are partial; the frozen Union 350 has no inspected basis.

supportedunresolved Cox says Hooker had Williams deploy and entrench and Schofield gave the same order to Hascall; that Hooker's despatch about three corps drew Schofield's protest and Sherman's rebuke. Hood reports Colonel Walker killed and Colonel Cook wounded. The frozen commanders are Lieutenant General John Bell Hood, Major General John M. Schofield and Major General Joseph Hooker; the live page gives General John Hood and Major General John Schofield.

Attributed judgments from an interested history (Cox served under Schofield) and report; 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 read Two corps [US] and Hood s Corps [CS] without counts; the live field reads zero. Cox says Hood attacked with his whole corps, Hindman's and Stevenson's divisions in front and Stewart in support, and that Hooker reported, from prisoners' second-hand information, being attacked by three corps. Hood's report of that night says Stevenson's division was mainly engaged and Hindman's slightly. Cox writes that, in the style of Confederate reports, one could say Hood's corps attacked two brigades and was defeated, but argues that the whole force within supporting distance on each side should be counted.

Formation statements that conflict in scope; no count is inspected and none is adopted. The live zero is not measured absence.

supportedunresolved Cox describes ravines with small marshy brooks between Geary's and Williams's divisions, a convex front for Williams, thick woods along the Marietta road, and an attack that gained ground only to come into open ground under Union guns. Hood says his pursuit was stopped by enfilading fire of sixteen guns from a bald hill. NPS credits Union artillery and swampy terrain.

Ground described by interested accounts and a summary; no map verification. Union positions were taken that day and are not tagged inherited.
