Week 26 (October 13 - October 19) 37 Weeks
By mid-October 1864, all Atlanta residents have evacuated, with one exception: secret Union sympathizers. Union generals occupy the finest homes, including a mansion owned by Unionist Edward Rawson. Though the secret Yankees welcome Sherman, they, too, must flee. Sherman will have no civilians in the city, regardless of loyalty. Only Madison Berry, clerk for the Union army, is allowed to stay.
