Week 17 (August 11 - August 17) 37 Weeks
It is the third week of Sherman’s bombardment of Atlanta. Union artillery rains shells on the city at an alarming rate: 6-10 a minute for hours on end. The terror of bursting shells drives residents to bombproof structures, even underground, for refuge. Young Lucy Caldwell finds sanctuary in a pit dug six feet deep in her neighbor’s yard. An estimated 100,000 shells are fired over 37 days.
