This State of the Park report summarizes the current condition of park resources, visitor experience, and park infrastructure as assessed by a combination of available factual information and the expert opinion and professional judgment of park staff and subject matter experts. The internet version of this report provides the associated workshop summary report and additional details and sources of information about the findings summarized in the report, including references, accounts on the origin and quality of the data, and the methods and analytic approaches used in data collection and assessments of condition. This report provides evaluations of status and trends based on interpretation by NPS scientists and managers of both quantitative and non- quantitative assessments and observations.

Executive Summary The mission of the National Park Service is to preserve unimpaired the natural and cultural resources and values of national parks for the enjoyment, education, and inspiration of this and future generations.

Kennesaw Mountain: Sherman, Johnston, and the Atlanta Campaign. Civil War America Series. Chapel Hill: University of North Carolina Press, 2013. xvi + 322 pp. $35.00 (cloth), ISBN 978-1-4696-0211-0. Reviewed by Drew S. Bledsoe (Lee University) Published on H-CivWar (May, 2014) Commissioned by Hugh F. Dubrulle Sherman’s Failed Experiment The Atlanta campaign of 1864 was pivotal to the Union’s efforts to secure the Confederate heartland. It also contributed immensely to Abraham Lincoln’s reelection bid in November of 1864. The capture of Atlanta helped ensure that the United States would not abandon its efforts to prosecute the American Civil War to a victorious conclusion. Despite the campaign’s importance, however, it has not enjoyed the same level of historical attention as other Civil War campaigns, particularly those in the Virginia theater of operations. Nevertheless, several important studies of the Atlanta campaign dominate the historiography of the Civil War in the West, particularly William R. Scaife’s outstanding (and out-of-print) The Campaign for Atlanta (1993) and Albert E. Castel’s Decision in the West: The Atlanta Campaign of 1864 (1992). Still, detailed battle studies of individual engagements within the Atlanta campaign are strikingly scarce. Thankfully, this trend has changed in recent years, and Earl J. Hess’s Kennesaw Mountain: Sherman, Johnston, and the Atlanta Campaign is not only an outstanding study of one of the most important battles of the Atlanta campaign, but also among the best battle studies in recent memory.

Landscapes documented through the CLI are those that individually meet criteria set forth in the National Register of Historic Places such as historic sites, historic designed landscapes, and historic vernacular landscapes or those that are contributing elements of properties that meet the criteria. In addition, landscapes that are managed as cultural resources because of law, policy, or decisions reached through the park planning process even though they do not meet the National Register criteria, are also included in the CLI. The CLI serves three major purposes. First, it provides the means to describe cultural landscapes on an individual or collective basis at the park, regional, or service-wide level. Secondly, it provides a platform to share information about cultural landscapes across programmatic areas and concerns and to integrate related data about these resources into park management. Thirdly, it provides an analytical tool to judge accomplishment and accountability.
