[620] loss cannot be accurately ascertained. It was between 4,000 and 5,000 killed, wounded, and made prisoners. Thus ended in defeat Hood's execution of Johnston's plan for a general battle at Peach Tree Creek. A brigade commander, Colonel Cobham, One Hundred and Eleventh Pennsylvania; Colonel William K. Logie, One Hundred and Forty-fourth New York, and Lieutenant Colonel G. B. Randall were among those who fell. We had a great impulse of joy because we had won the battle. The Confederates had at this time, besides the affliction of death, a great sense of chagrin because they had lost.
Baker and Taylor. 1908.
